Client: IPTM
The workshop session was about Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), with representatives from the Ministry of Bhutan in attendance. The session focused on the development and use of Logframes and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) within a Result-Based M&E system. The discussion emphasized how Logframes serve as a planning tool to clearly define project objectives and measurement methods, ensuring clarity and beneficiary involvement. KPIs were categorized into input, process, output, outcome, and impact indicators, following SMART criteria to track project progress. Various M&E tools such as surveys, interviews, focus group discussions, and participatory rural appraisal were highlighted for capturing data and assessing project effectiveness, relevance, sustainability, and impact. Additionally, case studies and other reflective tools were presented to capture lessons learned and inform future decision-making in project implementation.
