PROGRAM/PROJECT NAME:

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:

M&E BUDGET AMOUNT: (NOTE: This may consists largely of implementer staff time. Typical budgets are around 3-7% of the total budget.)

Overview:

The M&E Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) is a project management tool designed to measure progress towards the goals and objectives identified in the NOFO. The PMP also clarifies how and when the grantee will collect data on those indicators, the resources they intend to use for both program implementation and M&E. PAS recognizes that this document is likely to change over the life of the project, and as such, it will be a work-in-progress. Please fill out both the narrative and PMP as detailed as possible.

If your proposal is accepted, this PMP must be approved by the PAS M&E specialist prior to finalizing your grants package.

M&E NARRATIVE:

(Describe how the applicant plans to monitor and evaluate performance and outcomes (results) of the proposed project. Include key personnel, management structure for M&E activities, including methodologies used to demonstrate indicators (focus groups, surveys, etc.) any technologies (online surveys, social media analysis programs, etc.), and a budget narrative focusing only on M&E line expenditures listed in your program budget. This narrative should clearly show you have the capacity to implement the PMP you are proposing. Limit two pages.)

THEORY OF CHANGE

(To demonstrate that your project is measurable by design, please include the intended theory of change. This can be done with one, or a series of If-Then statements: “If __________ are completed, then these outcomes (be specific) will result in __________.” The theory of change may also be demonstrated with a Theory of Change diagram. A theory of change diagram is a type of logic model that explicitly illustrates the causal pathways between activities, outputs, outcomes, and objectives. There are many versions.)

M&E PMP: GLOSSSARY

The below is an abbreviated guide; you are encouraged to design new indicators. This list is not exhaustive.

Activity Planned # of:

Workshops, Trainings, Mentorships, Campaigns, Videos, Social Media Posts, Exhibitions, Conferences, Manuals, Flyers, Posters, Small grants Milestones *Pre-determined*, completed # of:

Curricula, Reports, Manuals, Experts or Speakers identified and secured.

Workshops, Trainings, Mentorships, Campaigns, Videos, Social Media Posts, Exhibitions, Conferences, Manuals, Flyers, Posters, Small grants Data Collection Methods Attendance sheets, Trackers, Active social media platforms, Official Project Documents, Implementer Records

Short-Term Outcomes Outcomes occuring over a 1-3 month period after project activities. Some examples:

% of entrepreneurship workshop participants surveyed who are satisfied with workshop

% increase/decrease in initial social media engagements (views, likes, shared, comments)

% of participants agree the training assisted in their career Data Collection Methods: Pre/Post Test, Baseline/2nd Survey, Social Media Analysis, Clearly defined observation criteria, Focus Groups, Key Informant Interviews (KII)

Mid-Term Outcomes Outcomes occuring over a 3-9 month period after project activities. Some examples:

# of new businesses created by participants after entrepreneurship workshop

% increase/decrease in sustained social media engagements (views, likes, shared, comments)

% of participants who have secured either a new job or promotion
