The What and Why of Monitoring & Evaluation

Quick Learn
Basic Sattva Consulting

This video provides a clear and practical refresher on Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) and introduces the basics of Results Assessment Reports (RAR) for NGOs. It explains the difference between monitoring (a continuous process focused on activities, inputs and outputs) and evaluation (a periodic process that assesses outcomes and long-term impact).

The session highlights:

  • Why benchmarks and baselines are essential for measuring progress
  • How to track assumptions that may influence project results
  • The importance of integrating M&E as a core part of programme management
  • How timely data helps identify risks, analyse why goals were or were not achieved, and improve overall efficiency
  • Why M&E supports accountability, learning, problem-solving and, in many cases, audit requirements

This video is valuable for NGOs seeking to strengthen decision-making, track their programme performance more effectively, and demonstrate clear evidence of impact.
