Expenditure on development assistance is under scrutiny in the current economic climate, and the demand for information on the performance of such assistance is increasing, from the donor countries/organizations, recipient Governments, and from the general public. It is becoming increasingly important for programme managers to be able to gather and utilise information on the performance of their work that is relevant to the design and implementation decisions they need to make and to the questions asked of them by stakeholders. As a result donors, financing institutions, civil society organizations and others are placing greater focus on not only carrying out milestone evaluation work, but on setting up systems to enable a more continuous monitoring and evaluation of performance to develop. Such systems can also be left as a sustainable tool for recipients to continue to use.
Triple Line has carried out a number of assignments to support the design and implementation of monitoring and evaluation systems for country governments, donors, financing institutions and civil society. A key focus of this work has been the use of approaches and methods that are practical and relevant to the local context and which involve the future implementers in the design and inception.
