Learn what monitoring is, why and when it should take place, and what to monitor at different levels of a program or intervention. Explore the types of monitoring, such as process, progress, validation and performance, and see examples of tools and methods for each type. Monitoring is periodic and continuous, conducted after program initiation and during the duration of that program or intervention. Monitoring and evaluation are tools and strategies that help a project know when plans are not working and circumstances have changed. They give the management the information it needs to make decisions about the project and the necessary changes for strategy or plans. In this sense, monitoring and evaluation are iterative. Learn what monitoring is, how it differs from evaluation, why it is important, and what to monitor at different levels and scales. Find out how to design and integrate a monitoring system into your program or organisation.
