Monitoring and Evaluation Systems Strengthening ToolDownload Document: cl-19-029-1.pdf (3 MB)Abstract: The Monitoring and Evaluation Systems Strengthening Tool (MESST) was developed under the premise that it is important to understand the system through which data are generated, aggregated and reported in order to assess their quality. This tool includes three checklists that programs or projects can use to: assess their monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plans; take stock of the capabilities of management units to manage data related to the implementation of the program/project(s); and assess the data-collection and reporting systems for each program area, including the ability to report valid, accurate and high quality data related to implementation. The zip file includes both English and French versions of the resources.Shortname: cl-19-029Author(s): Hardee KYear: 2007Language: EnglishFiled under: Evaluation, M&E, Monitoring, Tools
