Monitoring is a process, which ensures that, at any given stage of a project, the required inputs are delivered on time, used as intended and is producing the desired results.

Since plans are affected by uncontrollable situations such as:

• Socio-economic changes
• Political climate
•  International relations,

It is necessary that they are constantly monitored and adjustments made accordingly. The monitoring scheme is designed for the annual plan. In the scheme, three (3) activities occur:

1.     Monitoring activities cover the implementation period.

2.     On-going evaluation occurs at specific points within the implementation phase.

3.     Terminal evaluation occurs at specific end of the project implementation.

The Monitoring Report

Project monitoring formally starts when the actual implementation of project begins. Monitoring is therefore directed at ensuring that the progress of the project proceeds according to schedule that the quality of work is up to standard, and that all inputs (including labour) are on site at the appropriate time, in the right quantity and of right quality.

Evaluation

To determine whether results (Positive or Negative) have been achieved, the causes of deviation, if any, and how to counteract any unintended consequences, evaluation processes are undertaken. The main purpose for evaluation is to give feedback, which can lead to replanning.

Evaluation Report

Evaluation is conducted in greater details at the project level. Ex-post evaluation is conducted in order to find out whether the resources invested have produced or are producing the expected level of output and benefits and whether the benefits are reaching the intended target population. The first Ex-post evaluation should be conducted one year after completion of the project when the impact of the project should be evident.

The evaluation report is prepared in accordance with the following format.
