The proponent will be using “Results-Based Monitoring and Evaluation” (RBME) approach by Robert Picciotto who is focused on results and impacts rather than activities and outputs.

In doing so, collaboration is needed to define objectives in doing the project and success indicators including data collection, analyzation of data collected, evaluation of progress and reporting.

Other activities for M & E will be:

Regular Classroom Observation

Teachers’ Feedback

Learners’ Feedback

Parents and Guardians’ Feedback and Involvement

Assessment Scores and Progress Tracking

Collaboration to reflect and identify issues and ways forward

Adjustment of instruction based on data
