Conduct Needs Assessment
PURPOSE
To help understand the needs of your target population(s) through gathering primary and secondary evidence. The evidence is used to support the problems and causes in the problem analysis.

Conduct Problem Analysis
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.

Conduct Solutions Analysis
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 & 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.

Conduire l’Analyse des besoins
OBJECTIF
Permettre de comprendre les besoins de votre/vos population(s) cibles à travers la collecte de preuves primaires et secondaires. Ces preuves sont utilisées pour corroborer les problèmes et les causes dans la phase d'analyse du problème.

Realizar la evaluación de necesidades
PROPÓSITO
Ayudar a comprender las necesidades de su población(es) meta(s) a través de la recopilación de evidencia primaria y secundaria. Se utiliza la evidencia para apoyar los problemas y causas en el análisis de problemas.

Operationalize the M&E System
PURPOSE
To clarify and validate the ToC with relevant stakeholders and to come to agreement on, collective ownership of, and operationalization of the data collection system. The meeting is also used to refine indicator definitions, finalize indicator data collection methodologies—how, when, who, why—create database and report templates, and create a common understanding about this between everyone involved. Once the M&E system has been operationalized the project then collects the baseline data.

Establish the Project's Baseline
PURPOSE
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.

Set the Indicator Targets (ITT)
PURPOSE
To 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.

Analyze the Project Progress Data (Reflection Meeting)
PURPOSE
To convene key project staff who have knowledge of the project that will help in analyzing the project’s progress to date. The reflection meeting is oriented around the analysis of the achievement of project results through the use of data collected and documented in the Indicator Tracking Table and Activity Tracking Table. The analysis is used to make decisions and learn.

Create Project Progress Reports
PURPOSE
To analyze and document the progress the project has made towards completing its activities and achieving its results within the allocated budget and according to the project timeline. The progress report documents the project team’s analysis of the project’s progress according to its Theory of Change.

Make Decisions and Document Learning
PURPOSE
To use evidence to make decisions on how to improve project implementation to achieve the best possible results. To document any learning about what is and is not working and why. Decisions may lead to adjustments in programming or approaches. Lesson learned are documented so that they can be shared more widely with project staff and other LWR staff globally.

Monitor the Project’s M&E System
PURPOSE
To gather more meaningful information about project M&E during monitoring visit by determining trip objectives before each trip. The information from monitoring trips will be used by project teams during reflection meetings to improve the quality of their M&E system or general project implementation.

Conduct the Mid-Term Evaluation
PURPOSE
To evaluation project progress to date by focusing on the criteria of efficiency, effectiveness and relevancy. Mid-term evaluation findings are used to make decisions based on evidence about how to improve project implementation to achieve the best results possible by the end of the project.

Conduct the Final Evaluation
PURPOSE
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.

Respond to Evaluation Recommendations
PURPOSE
To determine and document if the project management team agrees with the evaluation recommendations and how it will act upon them. Some of the actions will relate to fixing issues with the current project while others will involve ensuring that the organization addresses challenges in future projects and builds on best practices.
