Monitoring And Evaluation

Credible, Objective and Neutral

Overview

Monitoring and Evaluation

PEARLSS 4 Development offers Monitoring and Evaluation Services to support organisations to improve efficiency, accountability, and the impact of their programs. Decision-makers can use this information to track achievements against what they purported to do. Project managers can benefit from this by knowing what worked, and also identify the necessary changes to be incorporated into project plans as well.

Baseline and endline studies: We undertake baseline studies to analyse the current situation and identify the starting points for a programme or project. We conduct end-line surveys at the end of an intervention to understand the impact created by the project. This helps to determine the effectiveness of organisational activities and to judge the significance of changes brought about by those activities.
Needs assessment: We perform needs assessment to identify potential gaps in the workplace and determine a plan of action, taking into consideration the organisation’s specific needs, to elevate business and/or to boost efficiency.
Project Implementation Monitoring: We support organisations to continuously monitor the implementation of activities, delivery of outputs, achievement of results and impacts and use of resources.
Mid-term and Concurrent Evaluation: We undertake mid-term and/or concurrent evaluation for projects to provide early and valuable feedback to program administrators and other stakeholders.
Outcome evaluations are undertaken to assess the effectiveness of a program in producing the desired change. Return on investments analysis is also conducted to ascertain the probability of gaining a return from a potential investment.

Developing indicators for monitoring: We support organisations to develop indicators which they can use as part of the project implementation monitoring and demonstrate results as part of SDGs.

Our Belief

At PEARLSS 4 Development, we believe that the following are the some of the many crucial advantages that a robust Monitoring and Evaluation Service offers to an Organisation:

1. Improved Project Performance
2. Higher Transparency and Accountability
3. Effective Resource Allocation
4. Improved Decision Making Based on Data (Not Opinions)
5. Methodological and Professional Management of Organisation

Key Aspects

Key questions that our ‘Monitoring’ process focusses on

How effectively did the organisation manage to implement the programs?
Depending on the existing information, does the organisation have to make any changes to its
programs?
What are the key parameters that could help the organisation have an idea of state of the
implementation of the project(s)?

Key questions that our ‘Evaluation’ process focusses on

What contributed to the organisation’s success or failure?
Did the activities planned/implemented by the organization make a measurable difference to the targeted beneficiary groups (communities)?
Can the organization scale the observed changes or use the observations in other contexts?
Did the organisation face any unexpected results?
Did the organisation achieve the expected impacts in a cost-effective manner?
