description:

The M&E system has been revised/restructured at various stages during the programme, and the current one is intended to be more practical and accessible for implementation partners and trainers as well as SCORE management. However, it is still awkward to use, and more importantly is not delivering the kind of information that enterprises, future evaluators and implementation partners need.

context:

The M&E system is intended to capture information that can demonstrate progress and achievements to multiple audiences: SCORE donors, enterprises, SCORE managers, potential SCORE sponsors, etc. In Phase III, implementation partners have also become an audience for this data rather than just a data provider. The system has been built up over the three phases of the programme. It has been adapted to meet changing demands, but in terms of the underlying software and structure it does not seem to have been rebuilt and there is room for improvement, particularly if the programme is to continue.

success:

Some implementation partners have taken responsibility for managing the system at country level.

challenges:

The current M&E system does not meet the needs of key stakeholders who will drive SCORE forwards beyond Phase III (i.e. implementation partners, trainers). It is already apparent that where ILO is not helping to fund training, they are reluctant to input data. This will worsen after Phase III.

administrative_issues:

A major overhaul of the system is not feasible at this stage, but improvements could be made, through pilots to generate more evidence and programme managers could consult with implementation partners.
