<p>Hey Guys, </p>
<p>We always work on tangible outcomes but when I was going through the impact of Media, it seems different. I have never worked on any assignment which was related to the media grants. </p>

<p>Hello friends--<br/> <br/> I think this is my first time posting and know it is my first time returning to international work after the birth of my child (I have been working continuously locally, however). So I'm a little rusty.<br/> <br/>1. To help me design a particular study, I'm wondering if folks can remind me of what could be called "the M&E Ecosystem," e.g., the main elements, species of beings (producers and consumers), and forces of energy that work together to produce what we experience as M&E, however healthy or unhealthy that ecosystem may be. These might include OECD, UN, etc. How would you describe it.</p>
<p>2. And so if we as M&E professionals think about the potential harm that arises for LGBTQ, girls, and women with disabilities (for example)--whether community members, program participants, or staff--from M&E work in countries that have already been impoverished by colonization, enslavement, and capitalism, how would we think about it?<br/> <br/> Thanks in advance,<br/> <br/> Vidhya Shanker, PhD<br/> she|her|hers<br/> <br/> Writing from the birthplace of the American Indian Movement, on the unceded homelands of the Dakota people, near those of the Ojibwe people.<br/> <br/> shan0133@umn.edu<br/> <a href="https://calendly.com/drvidhyashanker">https://calendly.com/drvidhyashanker</a><br/> <br/> "Why impose an alien culture on our culture and then take that as a measure of our progress?" --Usha Jumani</p> M & E Strategy/System for Gender Based Violence Programtag:gendereval.ning.com,2020-04-13:6606644:Topic:948812020-04-13T10:41:51.173ZNasir Alihttps://gendereval.ning.com/profile/NasirAli

I am trying to develop a SOW for someone to do a training which integrates gender into project monitoring and evaluation and I am having trouble coming up with what might go into the training agenda. Can anyone send me training agendas they might have used or have or help me with ideas they might have.

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>War Child Canada and WRC (Women’s Refugee Commission) are collaborating to create a user-friendly toolkit detailing M&E practices that I/NGOs and CSOs can use for GBV projects in restrictive environments. The idea behind the toolkit is that it can serve as a user manual to guide partner organizations working on GBV projects for how to apply best practices for their M&E activities including indicator development, remote management, mobile data collection, and community feedback mechanisms. We’re building the toolkit based on the experiences of CSOs and I/NGOs and donors in South Sudan and Afghanistan as well as global best practices, and building in knowledge from existing resources.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in participating in an interview with us to discuss your experience and the experience of your organization/group, please contact me directly (<a href="mailto:morganne@warchild.ca">morganne@warchild.ca</a><span>).</span> And please feel free to share this message out to your networks.</p>
<p>Finally, if you have any resource or tools that you use or find useful, please feel free to share those. We’ve done a scan of the available resources, but are interested in hearing from you about which tools and guides are actually most relevant for your work. Our goal is to build the toolkit based on the experience and best practice of practitioners, but in order to do that we need your insights!</p>
<p>If you have any questions or would like to chat more, please let me know and I’ll be happy to discuss.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<p><em>“After the course, I came out with a new way of looking at M&E that I can apply in my work. I now have an improved knowledge of how to best design and carry out project monitoring from the project development phase, in a way that links to and supports evaluation. The course equipped me with a toolbox of evaluation techniques and resources/materials on how and when to apply them.”</em></p>
<p><em>“My knowledge and practice of M&E was self-taught, developed over time through professional practice, working with expert partners, and reviewing methodological studies. I never received any formal training. The course helped me to refine my existing knowledge of M&E principles and practices, to expand the range of tools and approaches I can leverage in conducting M&E and to identify some effective approaches to teach basic M&E skills to my colleagues.”</em></p>
<p><em>“The course provided me with an opportunity to know what challenges others face in M&E and how they solve it.”</em></p>
<p><em>“The course taught how to make M&E practice impactful. I think the concrete examples, especially around the main challenges surrounding M&E implementation, were very useful. I also gained an understanding of the mixed methods for evaluation and learned how to implement them”.</em></p>
<p><em>“The course helped to fill gaps in knowledge in the areas of methods and strategies for evaluation. I learned about evaluation frameworks and how to apply monitoring and evaluation to different settings.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I had an informal experience in the M&E field but no formal education. This course offered me an educational support I was missing to become a knowledgeable M&E practitioner.”</em></p>
<p>Enrolment in the Cutting-Edge M&E: A Guide for Practitioners course is currently open. You can register online on the course webpage: <a href="https://www.traass.org/course-details-cutting-edge-m-e">https://www.traass.org/course-details-cutting-edge-m-e</a></p>

<p>I am happy to share the third and final report of a series of three evaluations completely led by children, here with the youngest group so far. Children beneficiaries of the programme, selected evaluation questions, collected and analysed data in order to deliver an assessment of this multi-sectoral programme working on issues of education, gender, economic empowerment, violence, governance and SRHR. This experience took place in Kenya with a slightly modified methodology to include an assessment of the programme’s role in influencing rules and regulations through advocacy. Neither the younger age of the evaluators nor the additional level of analysis pushed the process beyond children’s ability, hence demonstrating that the meaningful involvement of children in M&E no longer needs to remain an aspiration but can be a practical and even easy way to enrich our understanding of change and enhance programme quality. Comments and feedback always appreciated.</p>

<p>I am happy to share the second report of a series of three evaluations completely led by children. Children beneficiaries of the programme selected evaluation questions, collected and analysed data in order to deliver an assessment of the programme’s results, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, relevance and equity. This second experience took place in Zimbabwe with a slightly modified methodology to incorporate learning from the previous study and differences in the programme. These changes include the assessment of the depth of transformation and coverage attained by the programme and demonstrated children’s capacity to handle an additional level of complexity. The experience confirmed children’s ability to deliver nuanced assessments that are not simply positive or negative, and therefore capable of enhancing our understanding of the programme and contribute to programme quality. The experience also established that involving children in monitoring and evaluation activities is not only possible and desirable, but also does not require a major investment in resources. Comments and feedback are welcome.</p>

<p>I’m happy to share a learning paper describing our journey to develop an M&E system for a multi-country and multi-sectoral programme, capable of capturing outcome data that is both locally relevant and allows comparisons across different countries. To ensure the focus is on learning, we embedded creative visualisations in the data entry templates and introduced ‘reflection areas’. Within a year we found that implementing teams were starting to experiment with new approaches when evidence showed slow progress, data is shared more broadly across teams and with partners and country teams are more committed to collecting and utilising data. Feedback and comments welcome as usual.</p>
