THE WORLD BANK AND OTHER DONORS OF
AGRICULTURAL AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS STARTED EMPHASIZING ON FORMAL
MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF PROJECTS IN THE LATE 1960s AS A RESULT OF
RATIONALE TO ENSURE THAT DONOR FINANCE IS USED FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE AND
THAT THE EXPECTED DEVELOPMENT RETURNS ARE PRODUCED.
DEFINITION OF RELEVANT TERMS
Project: A time-bound intervention that consists of a
set of planned, interrelated activities aimed at achieving defined programme outputs.
CADP is a comprehensive five- year project developed by Federal Ministry of
Agriculture and Water Resources(FMAWR) in collaboration with the World Bank and
other stakeholders.
DEFINITION OF RELEVANT TERMS
Monitoring: The WB Operational Manual defines Monitoring
as “the continuous assessment of project implementation in
relation to agreed schedules and use of inputs, infrastructure,
and services by project beneficiaries. It is the systematic
collection and analysis of information as a project progresses, aimed at
improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the project.
DEFINITION OF RELEVANT TERMS
It enables you to determine whether the
resources you have available are sufficient
and are being well used, whether the capacity you have is sufficient and
appropriate, and
whether you are doing what you planned to do.
.
DEFINITION OF RELEVANT TERMS
Evaluation is the “periodic assessment of the relevance,
performance, efficiency, and impact (expected and unexpected)
of the project in relation to stated objectives.
It is the comparison of

WHAT IS
AN M&E SYSTEM ?
BASICALLY, AN M&E SYSTEM IS A
SET OF ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURES, MANAGEMENT PROCESSES, STANDARDS, STRATEGIES,
PLANS, INDICATORS, INFORMATION SYSTEMS, REPORTING LINES WHICH ENABLES A
PROJECT/PROGRAMME TO DISCHARGE ITS M&E FUNCTION
WHAT IS THE
BASIC FUNCTION OF AN M&E SYSTEM?
An M&E System has 2 Fundamental Functions:
1) The Monitoring function and
2) The Evaluation Function
WHAT IS THE
MONITORING FUNCTION?
This involves collecting, analysing and reporting data on inputs,
activities, outputs and outcomes and impact as well as external factors, in a
way that supports effective management.
Monitoring aims to provide managers, decision makers and other
stakeholders with regular feedback on progress in implementation and results
and early indicators of problems that need to be corrected on actual
performance against what was planned or expected.
WHAT IS
THE EVALUATION FUNCTION?
Evaluation is a time-bound and periodic exercise that seeks to provide
credible and useful information to answer specific questions to guide decision.
Evaluation deals with periodic
assessment of relevance,
efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability.
WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE OF CADP M&E SYSTEM?
THE CADP M&E SYSTEM HAS

coordination of M&E activities at all levels.
ii) Consolidating
monitoring and evaluation reports from States into semi-annual and
annual Progress reports and sending them to WB
iii)Provision

iv) Conduct of self monitoring activities at the
at the NCO and Federal level.
v) Organising and coordinating the Project
Mid-Term Review (MTR)/Impact Assessment
