Sharif's 9-BOX Monitoring Model for Adaptive Programme Management
0 likes23 views
This summarizes Sharif's 9-Box Monitoring Model, an experience-based model for project monitoring. The model contains 9 boxes that measure all effects of a project implementation, both positive and negative. Box 1 focuses on core monitoring like what was implemented, results, learnings, and challenges. The other boxes examine factors like indirect beneficiaries, context changes, stakeholder engagement, sustainability, accountability, and potential negative impacts. The model is useful for adaptive management and participatory approaches, and can maximize benefits for stakeholders and sustainability. Various tools can support monitoring through this model.
Sharif's 9-BOX Monitoring Model for Adaptive Programme Management
- 1. Sharif’s 9-Box Monitoring Model Introduction: Now a day’s efficient project monitoring has been very important and integral part of a project success. The traditional monitoring system just only kept focuses on project implementation status compared to its planned activities, where project stakeholders were considered as data sources only. Later, participatory monitoring evolved including integrating planning, learning and accountability become three important integral parts of monitoring and evaluation system, where stakeholders are not only treated as data sources but also an active participant of the monitoring and evaluation process. Through this approach, monitoring becomes a strong management tools for managing project effectively. Nevertheless, although present monitoring system is much improved version than the traditional monitoring system, still there is a missing link of an implementation regarding its all effects, positive- negative. This model, titled 9-Box model, includes the process of measuring all effects of an implementation. Sharif’s 9-Box Monitoring Model: This is an experience-based model. This model is particularly useable for them who practice Adaptive Programme Management Approach. This model is also applicable for them who practice CLA. Nevertheless, this model is also applicable for regular projects that look for maximizing project benefit for their stakeholders and sustainability from their project implementation. BOX-3 (The Context) Is there any contextual change that requires modification of project design? Is there any potential spoiler against the implementation that can negatively affect the project interest? BOX-4 (Implementation Relevance) Was the implementation relevant with the need of the beneficiaries? Was the implementation managed cost effectiveness and value for money? BOX-5 (Stakeholders) What are the Stakeholders present motivation, interest, incentives, power? Were the relevant stakeholders truly participated with their own motivation for the desired changes? BOX-2 (Indirect Beneficiaries) Apart from the beneficiaries, are any of the household member of the beneficiaries’ benefited, how? Apart from the beneficiaries, are the communities of the beneficiaries benefited, including women, youth, disable person, minorities, etc., and how? BOX-1 (Core Monitoring Agenda) What Implemented? Quality of Implementation? What are the results achieved? What are the learnings? What are the good practices? What challenges were there? How the challenges were mitigated? BOX-6 (Sustainability) Will this learning from the implementation and achieved results be sustainable? If yes, why, if not, why? What to do to make it sustainable? Any adjustment of the project is needed? BOX-9 (Negative contribution) Any negative effect/impact of the implementation over any particular group and environment. BOX-8 (Accountability) Where are the project accountability? Is this implementation comply with the project accountability, how? BOX-7 (Reform Agenda) Is there any policy change/ formulation needed to make the project effect sustainable? What are those? Who are the targeted audience? There are various online and offline monitoring tools and methods for this monitoring. For assistance, please contact Md. Shariful Hoque, sharifulbd01@gmail.com, WhatsApp: +8801711809761
