PROGRAM/PROJECT NAME:

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:

1. M&E NARRATIVE Describe how you plan to monitor and evaluate performance and outcomes (results) of the proposed project

2. THEORY OF CHANGETo demonstrate that your project is measurable by design, please include the intended theory of change. This can be done with (1) a diagram OR (2) in narrative form. Diagrams are preferred, but narratives are also accepted.

Option 1: 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. Any version that clearly demonstrates the project’s logical framework is acceptable. Additional guidance is available in the Resources section of the PMP Instructions (Attachment 2). One example is as follows:

Option 2: Narrative If-Then Statements

A narrative representation of Theory of Change is one, or a series of If-Then statements.

3. PMP DATASHEET:

Please fill in the below PMP. If selected for funding, the recipient will be expected to submit and update this document as part of its required narrative reporting. For most awards, narrative reports are required quarterly. See the “PMP Instructions” for guidance on filling in this datasheet.

Refer to your Theory of Change. For each Outcome and Output, please identify indicators that would demonstrate your progress. Then, establish targets for each indicator across the life of the project. Once approved by PDS, you will update this document and submit with your regular report. For most awards, this will be quarterly. For projects that exceed four quarters, consider using the Excel version of this datasheet, which is available upon request.
