Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning. In the Annexes to this report, Table 2 “Tracking Table” reports the progress on three of the Project’s indicators (it is worth noting that, for information purposes, we include indicator updates that are usually reported only once a year). Table 3 details the training events that were held during the quarter, Table 4 and 5 detail the technical and communication products that have been developed by the project; and the Table 6 shows the appearance in news media related to the intervention of the project. The Annex 7 shows an analysis of participation in the training events and webinars organized by the project, and finally, Annex 8 details the specifications of the courses that have been organized.
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning. Carry out the following scaled-up activities and the following Additional Parts so as to support a national unified monitoring approach, as well as monitoring of Project activities, including:
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning. Provision of support for a national unified monitoring approach, as well as monitoring of Project activities, including:
1. Provision of financing for engagement of a Third-Party Monitoring Agent for monitoring activities carried out under Parts 1 and 2.1 of the Project, including monitoring all activities related to Project COVID-19 Vaccine delivery and deployment.
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning. The XXX team monitored GRAIN-supported events as well as field trials. A total of 106 visits were made in four provinces (Kabul, Balkh, Herat, and Nangarhar). The monitoring team used tailored checklists for all monitoring visits in the areas of technical implementation, environmental compliance, financial compliance, and sustainability. Program participant feedback was also sought and findings were reviewed by program management. Regular bi- weekly coordination meetings conducted between XXX and program teams to discuss findings and changes were incorporated into programming as required for program improvement.
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning. 1. Establishment and operation of a national unified health service delivery monitoring approach, including: (a) development of a master health services functionality database for services provided by donors in the Republic of South Sudan; (b) collection and development of verified data in the health services sector;
(c) generation of health service functionality bulletins and/or reports;
(d) development of service availability and performance indicators; (e) carrying out of periodic technical reviews; and (d) carrying out of quality assurance sampling to measure the coverage of key health services delivery indicators.
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning. During Quarter 1 GRAIN finalized a sub-agreement with Xxxxxx Xxxx International Consulting to provide Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (XXX) support to the GRAIN project. This sub-award has two primary functions. The first is to lead the design and implementation of all aspects of the Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning plan. staff will be embedded in the GRAIN project in Kabul (XXX Director, and Specialist) and at all provincial locations (4 XXX Officers). staff will work with technical staff to develop XXX tools, collect data, monitor activities, conduct learning activities, report data and findings to Kabul, and prepare submissions for Afghan info. The second function of this award is to develop a data management system for use at ARIA. This system will allow ARIA staff to capture, store and analyze wheat research data. Currently ARIA has no such system for research data, which limits the amount of analysis and recommendations that can be gleaned from their work. The sub-award includes development of the system, hands-on training and troubleshooting support. In an effort to ensure sustainability, staff will work alongside ARIA staff throughout the project to capture and submit XXXX’s wheat research data in the system. This provides an opportunity for continual on-the-job learning and can lead to greater sustainability and a smoother transition of responsibility for the Data Management System for ARIA. As part of their sub-award, is developing a transition and sustainability plan for the ARIA database. This plan will be completed in the next quarter. GRAIN will use one database to capture both XXXX’s wheat research data as well as project reporting data. Appropriate user access will be developed so any data that is strictly related to the GRAIN project can be firewalled from unauthorized access. Using one database improves cost effectiveness by reducing duplication (two separate systems recording the same data) and helps ensure data consistency. For example, many factors go into an indicator such as percent increase in yield (date of sowing, weather conditions, pest/disease condition, experimental treatment etc.). By using the same data management system, and GRAIN will also be able to mentor and coach ARIA staff to utilize the captured data to generate higher quality products from the data and support them in developing research materials and extension products. Additionally, the GRAIN team continued to work with over the quarter to revise the XXX pl...
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning. The progress, success and impact of the contractor’s performance under this contract will be monitored and evaluated as a part of the overall activity results. Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (XXX) programs must be utilized in order to assess the impact of the program and whether or not objectives are being achieved and if they should be adjusted. The XXX Plan is intended to be a “living” document that must be reviewed and updated on an annual basis as specified in Section C.6 (a) above. The XXX Plan described in Section C.6 (a) above sets forth the specific performance goals for the contract and can be modified at any time in writing by the Contracting Officer’s Representative to reflect changing priorities and circumstances.
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning. During this quarter, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx developed a comprehensive XXX plan complete with indicator reference sheets and indicator performance tracking table. The selection of performance indicators was done during the start workshop where all the partners met to select indicators and set targets across IRs. This was a participatory approach that saw sub-awardee IR leads facilitate the process of indicator selection. Through this collaborative process, consensus on the performance measures and targets was quickly reached. The XXX plan was submitted within 90 days and is currently under review by USAID. Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx commenced plans to undertake a baseline population-based household survey in this reporting quarter. The baseline process started with development of a scope of work, followed by request for proposal-posted in the local dailies and online site for international audience. The RFP was closed on December 21, 2018. Currently, the Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx team is reviewing proposals from potential candidates. Fieldwork is expected to start in quarter two. The following are activities planned for the next quarter: • Conduct baseline population-based household survey covering activity operations areas of Dodoma, Morogoro, Rukwa and Iringa • Working with SC's DCOP/Technical Advisors and partners to develop routine monitoring tools to facilitate data capture during activity implementation. • Train XXX Coordinators and partners on Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx M&E system/M&E approaches, indicator requirements, data collection process/tools and data quality management
6. SPECIAL EVENTS FOR NEXT QUARTER Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx upcoming events include: • Project launch and introductions and project implementation planning (PIP) meetings at regional levels. • Kick of meeting for all Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx activity project staff. This meeting will focus on orienting the new staff on the activity approaches, WASH, SBC and gender integration. Technical advisors from Save the Children USA and Manoff Group will be leading the WASH and SBC and gender integration respectively How Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx has Addressed A/COR Comments from the Last Quarterly or Semi-Annual Report Not applicable in this reporting quarter. This is Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx first quarter.
7. FINANCIAL SUMMARY
