Common use of Monitoring Component Clause in Contracts

Monitoring Component. As defined in the MCC M&E Policy, monitoring is the continuous, systematic collection of data on specified indicators to provide indications of progress toward objectives and the achievement of intermediate results along the way. To monitor progress toward the achievement of results of this Compact, the Monitoring Component of the M&E Plan will identify (a) the Indicators (as defined below), (b) the definitions of the Indicators, (c) the sources and methods for data collection, (d) the frequency for data collection, (e) the party or parties responsible for collecting and analyzing relevant data, (f) the timeline for reporting on each Indicator to MCC and (g) required disaggregations (all indicators should be sex disaggregated when possible). It should be noted that some Indicators will continue to be tracked in a Post Compact M&E Plan after this Compact expires, as described further below. Goal, Outcome, Output, and Process Indicators. The M&E Plan will measure the results of the Program using quantitative, objective, and reliable data (“Indicators”). (i) The M&E Plan will establish baselines for every Indicator (each, a “Baseline”). An Indicator’s Baseline should be established prior to the start of the corresponding Project, Activity and/or sub-activity. Baselines demonstrate that the problem can be specified in measurable terms, and are thus a pre-requisite for adequate intervention design. The Government will collect Baselines on the selected Indicators or verify already collected Baselines where applicable. (ii) The M&E Plan will establish a benchmark for each Indicator that specifies the expected value and the expected time by which the result will be achieved (“Target”). (iii) The M&E Plan will indicate which Indicators will be disaggregated by sex, income level, and age, and beneficiary types to the extent practical and applicable. (iv) MCC’s Common Indicators (as described in the MCC M&E Policy) will also be included as relevant. (v) Subject to prior written approval from MCC and in accordance with the MCC M&E Policy, the Government may add Indicators or refine the definitions and Targets of existing Indicators. (vi) MCA-Liberia must report to MCC on monitoring Indicators in the M&E Plan on a quarterly basis using an Indicator Tracking Table (“ITT”) in the form provided by MCC. No changes to Indicators, Baselines or Targets may be made in the ITT until the changes have been approved in the M&E Plan. Additional guidance on indicator reporting is contained in MCC’s Guidance on Quarterly MCA Disbursement Request and Reporting Package. In the case that MCA-Liberia submits a six-month disbursement request, the ITT must still be submitted quarterly. Key Indicators that can be reported on at least an annual basis will be included in quarterly monitoring Indicator reports, while Indicators that require survey data or a longer time period to track will be tracked for evaluation purposes. The M&E Plan will contain the monitoring Indicators listed in the following tables. Under the Energy Project, indicators for the Mt. Coffee Rehabilitation Activity have been identified; however, indicators for the Mt. Coffee Support Activity, LEC Training Center Activity, and Energy Sector Reform Activity have not been included in the following tables and will be identified in the M&E Plan.
