ANNEXES
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning. Provision of support for a national unified monitoring approach, as well as monitoring of Project activities, including:
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;
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. (XXX) PLAN Monitoring and evaluation programs must be utilized in order to assess the impact of the contract activities and whether or not results are being achieved and if activities should be adjusted.
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning. Across all programmatic areas and results, TAP will ensure XXX and CLA approaches are responsive and aligned with the workplan. XXX’s research agenda is designed to support evidence-based planning functions that are grounded in TAP’s logic model and the overall Theory of Change. In a dynamic process, TAP’s XXX efforts are shaped by the findings from the situational analysis of XxX and XxX systems and policies, as well as the situational analysis of the learning loss (i.e., the remedial study). TAP will ensure monitoring of field-activities is regular, timely and meaningful. Data from monitoring activities will be used for continuous improvement and learning. For this purpose, TAP will outsource third-party monitoring services, with the aim of monitoring, verifying and documenting the implementation of activities against XXX plan indicators, while adopting a mixed methods approach. During YR2, TAP will operationalize its XXX plan activities at three levels: (a) development of indicator-specific data collection tools to ensure accurate and timely reporting, (b) design and implementation of research efforts, and (c) strategizing the CLA agenda. Supported by a third-party monitoring firm, TAP will kick-off data collection at the field level to obtain and verify quantitative and qualitative data for its XXX plan indicators. TAP anticipates starting reporting on XXX plan indicators via DevResults to USAID on a quarterly basis. TAP’s XXX plan activities are not a standalone effort; instead, they are integrated in TAP’s implementation, and will be conducted in parallel with programmatic activities to support quality monitoring and provide insights on implementation effectiveness and relevance on a regular basis. During Q1 of YR2, TAP will continue working on building, updating and operationalizing the necessary tools to monitor the remedial program. Providing data for the teacher performance evaluation outlined in TAP research agenda, this effort will include updating the classroom observation tool and training MoE supervisors on implementation and data collection. In addition, this effort will support reporting on USAID’s PMP indicators: percent of observed classrooms with evidence of teacher’s guide utilization (4.2.2.a) and percentage of supervisors who complete their coaching plans (4.2.3.2.a). Moreover, XXX will continue the diagnostic study data collection for grades 7-11, as well as conceptualizing the framework for a social emotional learning assessment fo...
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. 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
