VC M&E Module 10 - Reviewing and Revising Your M&E System
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes583 views
This document provides a step-by-step guide for reviewing and revising an M&E system for a value chain project. The four main steps are: 1) implement the M&E system, 2) monitor system implementation, 3) conduct formal review workshops, and 4) adjust the M&E system. Key aspects that are monitored include data feedback loops, management and quality. The goal of reviews is to allow for flexibility and willingness to adapt the system. Common pitfalls to avoid are implementing baselines too early, not monitoring the M&E system itself, and not updating the system and indicators over time.

- 11. STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE: STEP 4 Flexibility and willingness to adapt is a key dimension of successful M&E teams working on value chain projects. Once revisions are completed, teams will return to monitoring progress and planning for the next review workshop. 10 May 22, 2012
- 12. COMMON PITFALLS •Projects implement the baseline too early before the activities, locations, target group, and work plan have been finalized. •Projects do not monitor the operation of the M&E system itself. •Project management does not pay sufficient attention to M&E operations and results, thereby diminishing its perceived importance to the rest of the project staff. •Projects do not update the M&E system (including key performance indicators and targets) once it has 11 launched.
