Session overviewIntroductionWhy monitorWhat to monitorHow to monitorExercise: Developing a performance
monitoring plan for the FI.
Why monitor?Assess progress towards achieving FI goals
and objectives. Assess effectiveness and efficiency of adopted
measures and strategiesGain better understanding of enablers and
challengesIdentify strengths, weaknesses and gapsPinpoint those areas needing urgent
attention
Why monitor?• Systematic evidence for reviewing the NFP • Basis for planning and decision-making • Identifying inputs human and financial
resources• Basis for reporting on forestry activities and
achievements – National – International processes (MEAs) – UNFF, 2015 in 2015 ( assessment of
effectiveness of the NLBI)
How to monitor• Scope, purpose, intended use and
potential users determine:• What is to be monitored• Selection of appropriate criteria and
indicators
• Baseline information• Situation analysis vis-a vis 25 national policies
• Make repeated periodic assessments to check status
Linking with existing M&E systemsIdentify and analyze existing M&E
systems with relevance to SFM Integrate the NLBI monitoring
Avoid duplicationReduce financial burden of monitoring.
Cooperating partners have clear understanding of roles and responsibilities
Determination of indicatorsIndicators provide a means for assessing and
measuring changesQuantitative and qualitativeLimited number of key indicators
easy to assess Reasonable measure of progress
NB: Stakeholder involvement crucial
Examples of indicators for measuring achievement of SFM • Forest cover• Deforestation rate• Area of forest under
under SFM• Volume of processed
forest products• Magnitude of private
sector investment in SFM
• No. of households accessing forests
• Income from forest products
Data collection methods and frequency Determine the methods and frequency of
data collection.Realistic and adequate data.
Determines amount of resourcesWho is responsible for collection of which data,How data is stored and shared
Analysis and feedback Guidelines on responsibilities for analysis and
providing feedback to stakeholdersEnsure generation of targeted information Clear methods and channels of communication Uptake and use of information
FeedbackAdequacy and relevanceRefinement of monitoring system
Exercise: Performance monitoring Plan• Develop a performance monitoring plan. This
exercise will be based on the previous exercise on the implementation plan. and will allow participants to:• develop indicators of achievement, • identify the specific parameters for measurement• Determine appropriate frequency of measurement
and • Identify who will be responsible for each indicator.
• The results can be presented as a table (see exercise handout)
