Monitoring of the GTRP:Monitoring Workshop, Hanoi, 2-4 Aug 2011

Progress monitoring of the GTRP• Each TRC has developed a set of priority actions forthe year• Monitoring of progress on these actions can bedone through developing an agreed framework• Each country can undertake this monitoring at anational level independently or with help ofpartners• Reporting back on progress can be done through anannual review meeting coordinated by GTF/GTI• Adaptive management/setting new priorities canbe carried out based on monitoring results

What is Monitoring?…the process of systematicallycollecting and analysing informationon key parameters related to specificobjectives of a project or programmeto help with objective decision-making

Why Monitor?• Tracking progress towards objectives oroutcomes• Enabling adaptation to changing externalcircumstances• Ensuring accountability to stakeholders• Communicating results effectively &objectively (and raising funds!)

How to Monitor?• Have clear and measurable objectives that youwant to achieve• Identify verifiable indicators for each objectivewhich will show change in status• Ensure that there is baseline data against whichto assess change• Agree on roles and responsibilities forinformation collection, analysis & application• Collate all of this into a clear and simplemonitoring framework

What is an Indicator?…a variable that helps to indicate progresstowards the objective...very simply, an indicator tells you howyou are doing (am I getting there or not?)
