Evaluation

Prepared by Bes M Calub May 2012

What is PM&E ?(Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation)

• A process that develops partnerships of multiple stakeholders for efficient, effective and socially inclusive monitoring and evaluation.


• A process that empowers people by putting them in charge of the process, they share accountability and exercise control over the project activities.

• It builds capacities and negotiation skills by jointly analyzing, reflecting and assessing progress and obstacles of the project.

• It enriches understanding of local knowledge by learning from past mistakes and taking corrective action.

• It promotes interaction of stakeholders through use of participatory tools and techniques.

Why should M&E be participatory ?


• It allows healthy exchange of different points of views.

• It emphasizes a positive approach to learning and improving performance (not judgment or punishment) by recognizing commitment, innovation and flexibility.

Why should M&E be participatory?


Some DON’Ts when receiving feedback

• Don’t get impatient.

• Don’t contradict.

• Don’t regard feedback as a personal attack.


Some DON’Ts when receiving feedback

• Don’t judge about correctness or incorrectness of what the farmer says (there will be another time for that)

• Don’t give the farmer advice during a PM&E (there will be another time for that)

• Don’t show disapproval of the farmer’s statements, even if you disagree

(there will be another time for that)

Continuation…

Some Dos when receiving feedback(verbal and non-verbal)

• Be neutral (not biased; not defensive)

• Be open to constructive criticism • Be receptive


We were given two ears and only one mouth,

That we may listen twice as much as we should talk!


Whose JOB is it?

• Four people were named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, Nobody.

• They have an important job to be done. Everybody was asked to do it.

• Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

• Somebody got angry because it was Everybody’s job.

• Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.

• Thus Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
