PURPOSE: To identify the main problem facing a population, the causes that contribute to the problem, and the effects that are a result of the problem. Clearly understanding the problem is the first step to determining solutions, which become the results the project expects to achieve.
|
|
|
|
PURPOSE: To determine how the project will most efficiently and effectively solve the problems facing the target population(s). Once the project’s results are clearly outlined through the solutions analysis the project will determine how to measure the achievement of each result and identify any assumptions behind the theory of change.

Select the Indicators and Assumptions |
PURPOSE: To establish how the project will measure (through indicators and means of verification) each result identified in the solutions analysis and document any assumptions underpinning the logic of the project design. This information is organized in the Logframe and then the indicators and means of verification are transferred to the M&E Matrix, which is the first step in operationalizing the project’s M&E system.

Develop the Project M&E Plan |
PURPOSE: To outline the project’s M&E system with sufficient detail to create realistic budgets and timelines. M&E staffing, learning and research needs, data collection and evaluation activities, and other resources needed to carry out project M&E are documented during this process. The M&E plan is used and updated throughout project implementation. |

PROCESS AIM: The aim of this process is to collect the data necessary to establish the project’s starting point for each indicator. The baseline data is compared with endline data to examine change over time and is also used to validate or set indicator targets. This process will also establish the degree of change the project expects to see in the target population and by when that change will occur. The change is created through the implementation of activities and measured through indicators at the output and outcome level. Targets allow staff to track actual data against the expected results, which helps in evaluating progress throughout the project.

PROCESS AIM: The aim of this process is to collect project progress data, ensuring its accuracy and quality, and to document the analysis of a project’s progress towards achieving its expected results and activities. The analysis is documented in the Project Progress Report and is then shared with project stakeholders for both accountability purposes as well as to receive feedback. Lessons learned are documented so that they can be shared more widely with project staff and other LWR staff globally.

PROCESS AIM: The aim of this process is to gather evidence to validate the accomplishments and/or challenges of the project in key areas (relevancy, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability, impact). The results from the evaluation are used for management, decision making and learning. This process helps determine and document if the project management team agrees with the evaluation recommendations and how it will act upon them. In all, it will make the most use possible of evaluation findings, in order to avoid repeating mistakes and encourage building on successes.
