Monitoring

…is the systematic and routine collection of information from projects and programmes for four main purposes:

• To learn from experiences to improve practices and activities in the future;

• To have internal and external accountability of the resources used and the results obtained;

• To take informed decisions on the future of the initiative;

• To promote empowerment of beneficiaries of the initiative.

Evaluation 

…is assessing, as systematically and objectively as possible, a completed project or programme (or a phase of an ongoing project or programme that has been completed). Evaluations appraise data and information that inform strategic decisions, thus improving the project or programme in the future.

Monitoring & Evaluation

M&E is an embedded concept and constitutive part of every project or programme design (“must be”).
