Purpose of
Monitoring and
Evaluation
1. Assess project results to find out if the objectives and desired changes are being met.
2. Improve project management and process planning to better adapt to contextual and risk factors such as
new social and political relations that may affect the research process.
3. Promote learning by identifying lessons of general applicability such as how different approaches to
participation affect outcomes, impact, and reach; what works and what does not; and what contextual factors
enable or constrain participatory research.
4. Understand- through direct participation in monitoring and evaluation – the different stakeholders’
perspectives to allow the various people involved in a research to better appreciate each other’s views and
values and come up with ways to resolve competing or conflicting opinions and interests; and
5. Ensure accountability to assess whether the project is effectively, appropriately, and efficiently executed and
accounted for to the key agencies supporting the project (including, but not exclusively, the donors).
