Overview:

The M&E Results Monitoring Plan (RMP) is a project management tool designed to measure progress towards the goals and objectives identified in the NOFO. The RMP 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 as part of your proposal and during the negotiation phase this document is likely to change, and as such, a work-in-progress. Please fill out both the narrative and RMP as detailed as possible.

If your proposal is accepted, this RMP 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 3 pages.)

RESULTS MONITORING PLAN (RMP): INSTRUCTIONS

Key Terms:

Outputs Outputs are the products, goods, and services provided by project activities. Ex: # of workshops, training hours, pamphlets, social media groups/posts, etc.

Outcomes The result or effect in conditions or behavior attributable to project activities and outputs. Outcomes may be short‐term or long-term, intended or unintended, positive or negative, direct or indirect.

Indicator A particular characteristic or dimension used to measure intended changes, whether outputs or outcomes. Indicators are used to observe progress and measure actual results compared to expected results (targets). Indicators should be expressed quantitatively and should be objective and measureable (e.g. numeric value, percentages, indices). Examples of indicators include: number of gender-based violence survivors provided social support services; percent change in knowledge about investigative journalism; % of participants who feel the training is relevant to their career.

Target An expected value or level for an indicator, at a specified point in time in the future. The target shows the level of achievement that is expected in order for results to occur. Targets are compared against actual results. A target is defined for each indicator as part of the M&E PMP. Related terms: Benchmark, Milestone

Methods Methods, sometimes called tools, are the processes one uses to collect data that is used to inform indicators, to show if you’re achieved RMP targets. They can include both qualitative and quantitative processes, however indicators themselves must be in quantitative form. For example, one may hold focus groups, a qualitative methodology, to determine perceptions of a countering violent extremism program, however the data extracted may show that 50% of the focus group participants discussed negative perceptions of the programming: Your indicator is “perception of CVE” and your actual result is 50%.

INDICATOR REFERENCE SHEET:

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