- description:
- Monitoring is necessary at every stage of project implementation. Monitoring is needed during outreach activities, the application and shortlisting processes, skills training, and importantly, when graduates are in jobs/businesses after the training ends. Oftentimes skills training projects may pay attention to what happens during the classroom phase, but they fail to monitor what happens before the classroom training starts or after the training ends.
- context:
- M&E plans should be developed and implemented in a participatory manner. Traditional policing methodologies have created a sense of fear toward M&E. Skills training providers may be unaccustomed to rigorous monitoring and may need to be encouraged to comply and buy into the process. M&E plans should be built on principles of mutual respect and trust (for instance, the monitor is not a boss or supervisor and should serve with integrity) and transparency and equity (for example, all service providers should be appraised on a set of common agreed standards). Involve monitors and service providers in the definition of indicators and the development of monitoring tools. Involve service providers in the training for monitors.
