 Government
officials, development managers and civil
society are increasingly aware of the value
of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of
development activities. M&E provides
a better means of learning from past experience,
improving service delivery, planning and
allocating resources, and demonstrating
results as part of accountability to key
stakeholders. Yet there is often confusion
about what M&E entails. This booklet
therefore presents a sample of M&E tools,
methods and approaches, including several
data collection methods, analytical frameworks,
and types of evaluation and review. For
each of these, a summary is provided of
the following: their purpose and use; advantages
and disadvantages; costs, skills, and time
required; and key references. The booklet
discusses:
 Performance

The
logical framework (logframe) approach
Theory-based
evaluation
Formal

Rapid
appraisal methods
Participatory
methods
Public
expenditure tracking surveys
Impact

Cost-benefit
and cost-effectiveness analysis
This second edition of the M&E booklet
includes an expanded discussion of various
types of impact evaluation. The booklet
is available in English, Arabic, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
