RE: How to Measure the Impact of Monitoring and Evaluation Work | Eval Forward

Dear Zahid Shabbir,

Thank you very much for sharing very useful information.

However, my interest is to know how monitoring being carried out informs better achievements or delivery of the broader outcomes over a period of time.  This is because when, for example, carrying monitoring of headline indicators (somewhat similar to broader outcome over the period of time), the results of the monitoring is expected to inform better realization of the broader outcomes over the period of time.  

So how do we measure the contribution of the monitoring being carried out, towards helping in informing realization of better broader outcomes over the period of time? This is because the monitoring of the broader outcomes is not done for the sake of it but with the aim to inform better realization of the broader outcomes over the period of time.

There should be therefore a way of determining whether monitoring being carried out is contributing towards better realization of the broader outcomes being monitored over time of not.

The same applies to other levels of monitoring.

That is the focus of my assumption.

Kind regards
