Why Conduct a Monitoring and Evaluation Survey in Africa?
Monitoring and evaluation surveys may sometimes appear to be an unaffordable luxury, an unwelcome tool of external oversight or an administrative burden. Even though a larger part of the African content is often viewed to lack the financial means to embark on data research, its value cannot be discarded. If implemented well, it can become a very powerful instrument in implementing business strategies, and implementing both social and political changes.
Conducting monitoring and evaluation survey in Africa can be very helpful in assessing the difference we are making and it also provides vital intelligence which in turn helps us to:
Assess and show efficiency in realizing our goals and the positive results on the lives of people
Improve learning and decision making about group operations, project design implementation- barriers and success factors
Contribute to the research about effectiveness and the limitations of the community
Empower and encourage people to volunteer and support the initiative
Ensure accountability to main stakeholders including group members, community, funders, and the wider movement.
Affects government policy
Share learning with the wider movement and other communities
