It can be a complex process, involving multiple actors, methods and influences. Monitoring and evaluation should always be designed to suppor

Tools for M&E of Capacity Strenghtening
INTRAC (2021), 6 pp.
"Changes arising from capacity strengthening work can sometimes be measured directly. A range of tools and methodologies can also be used to help assess capacity change. Most of these were not designed specifically with capacity strengthening in mind, but can easily be adapted for the purpose. CSOs
...
M&E of Network Development
INTRAC (2021), 5 pp.
"Network results can be divided into different categories, such as network vibrancy, network connectivity and network effects. Monitoring and evaluation tools and methods need to be chosen to assess each of these areas separately, depending on the need. Network surveys and social network analysis ar

Organisational Assessment Tools
INTRAC (2021), 5 pp.
"Organisational assessment (OA) tools are designed to assess organisational capacity, and plan capacity development initiatives. Sometimes they are used for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) purposes as well. There are two main ways of using OA tools for M&E. One is to develop an action plan based on
...
M&E of Training
INTRAC (2021), 6 pp.
"Training can take different forms. It can be carried out as a one-off exercise, or can be combined with other types of support, such as coaching or mentoring. The most well-known model for monitoring and evaluating training is the Kirkpatrick model, developed in the 1950s. A number of other models

Participatory M&E
INTRAC (2020), 7 pp.
"Participatory M&E is about engaging different stakeholders, especially targeted beneficiaries, in monitoring and evaluation processes. It is done to generate better M&E information and/or to empower stakeholders. It is facilitated through two main approaches. The first is a set of tools and methods

M&E Tools for Advocacy Work
INTRAC (2020), 7 pp.
"Many different tools and methodologies can be used to support advocacy work. Some are designed specifically for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) purposes. Others are designed to support the planning and management of advocacy interventions, but can be used or adapted for M&E purposes. CSOs often emp

Monitoring Advocacy Activities
INTRAC (2020), 5 pp.
"Most advocacy work is carried out in complex environments where there are many different influences on change. This has important consequences for how objectives and indicators are developed. CSOs need to understand the immediate and short-term changes resulting from different advocacy activities i
...
M&E Systems for Advocacy Work
INTRAC (2020), 6 pp.
"Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems for advocacy interventions usually include a number of common elements. The nature of advocacy work means M&E systems need to be designed and implemented differently than in conventional projects. M&E systems for advocacy work should be simple and time-effici

M&E of Advocacy
INTRAC (2020), 6 pp.
"Monitoring and evaluating advocacy work involves unique challenges. These can usually be overcome provided expectations are realistic. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation carried out during advocacy interventions should enhance and support real-time decision-making. Advocacy evaluations should includ
...
Aggregation and Summarisation
INTRAC (2019), 7 pp.
"CSOs sometimes need to summarise or aggregate information across multiple interventions. This can be a difficult and challenging task, especially for large non-governmental organisations (NGOs) working in many different countries and/or sectors. Summarisation and aggregation can be achieved through
...
Contribution Analysis
INTRAC (2017), 4 pp.
"Contribution analysis is a methodology used to identify the contribution a development intervention has made to a change or set of changes. The aim is to produce a credible, evidence-based narrative of contribution that a reasonable person would be likely to agree with, rather than to produce concl

Utilisation-Focused Evaluation
INTRAC (2017), 2 pp.
"Utilisation-focused evaluations (UFEs) are based on the principle that an evaluation should be judged according to how useful it is. UFEs should be planned and implemented in a way that increases the likelihood of the findings being used. This normally means identifying the primary users of an eval

Developmental Evaluation
INTRAC (2017), 3 pp.
"Developmental evaluation involves long-term relationships between evaluators and project or programme staff. Evaluation is ongoing, which means that feedback can be provided on a continuous basis. Development evaluation is particularly appropriate for projects or programmes working in complex or un

Tracer Studies
INTRAC (2017), 3 pp.
"In a tracer study, data is collected and analysed repeatedly over time. For monitoring and evaluation purposes, tracer studies are often designed to track changes at individual level, following a development intervention. However, they might also focus on other units of analysis such as communities
...
Outcome Harvesting
INTRAC (2017), 5 pp.
"Outcome harvesting is a monitoring and evaluation methodology used to identify, describe, verify and analyse the changes brought about through a development intervention. It is designed to collect evidence of change, and then work backwards to assess contribution to that change. It was partly inspi

Focus Group Discussions
INTRAC (2017), 3 pp.
"Focus group discussions are facilitated discussions, held with a small group of people who have specialist knowledge or interest in a particular topic. They are used to find out the perceptions and attitudes of a defined group of people. Focus group discussions can be applied at any stage of the pr
...
Quasi-Experimental Approaches
INTRAC (2017), 6 pp.
"Experimental approaches work by comparing changes in a group that receives a development intervention with a group that does not. The difference is then attributed to the intervention. In a full experimental approach, units are randomly allocated to two groups – one that receives the intervention
...
Types of Evaluation
INTRAC (2017), 4 pp.
"There are many different types of evaluation. Each type has its own set of processes and/or principles. Many factors influence decisions over what type of evaluation to use. Evaluations can be categorised according to their purpose, who conducts them, when they are carried out, the broad approach u
...
Qualitative Comparative Analysis
INTRAC (2017), 5 pp.
"Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is a methodology that enables the analysis of multiple cases in complex situations. It can help explain why change happens in some cases but not others. QCA is designed for use with an intermediate number of cases, typically between 10 and 50. It can be used i
