Monitoring & Evaluation Support

Understanding programme implementation and research outcomes.

The problem we solve

Programmes report activity, not evidence. Without an indicator framework and implementation data, it is unclear whether a programme was delivered as designed.

Scope — what is included

  • Monitoring frameworks and indicator definitions
  • Process evaluation of programme delivery
  • Implementation fidelity measurement
  • Defined analysis assignments and reporting

Methodology

  • Theory of Change
  • Indicator development
  • Descriptive analysis
  • Protocol-based quantitative analysis
  • Implementation monitoring

Deliverables

  • Indicator framework with definitions and data sources
  • Process evaluation reports
  • Analytical tables against a pre-specified plan
  • Research and monitoring reports

What we need from you

Research decisions stay with your team. To deliver this work we need you to:

  • Approve the Theory of Change and indicator definitions
  • Specify the analysis questions and any pre-analysis plan
  • Provide programme documentation and delivery records

Illustrative workflow

A synthetic example, included to show how the work runs. It is not a past engagement and does not describe a real client.

A foundation funds a teacher-training programme and needs to know whether delivery matched the design.

  1. 1Map the Theory of Change and define measurable delivery indicators
  2. 2Collect implementation data against the indicator framework
  3. 3Produce analytical tables against the approved specification
  4. 4Report where delivery matched the design and where it diverged
