About this file

This document contains a template for a Monitoring and Evaluation Performance Monitoring Plan (M&E PMP) for federal grants from the Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Department of State. The M&E PMP template requires applicants to provide key details including goals, target audiences, problem statements, objectives, activities, indicators, data collection methods, targets, and timelines on a quarterly basis. Applicants must also include a two-page M&E narrative describing management structure, methodologies, technologies, and expenditures. A theory of change demonstrating causal pathways between activities, outputs, and outcomes must be illustrated, either through If-Then statements or a theory of change diagram. The completed M&E PMP datasheet template will be included in required quarterly reporting to PAS. Successful applicants will have their M&E PMP approved by a PAS M&E specialist prior to finalizing their grant agreement under the Public Diplomacy Programs federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of State.

PAS M&E performance monitoring plan (PMP)

GRANTEE NAME:

PROGRAM/PROJECT NAME:

PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:

M&E BUDGET AMOUNT:

Overview:

The M&E Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) is a program 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 be as detailed as possible when filling out the PMP.

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, proposed management structure for M&E activities, and describe any methodologies used to capture indicators (e.g. focus groups, surveys, etc.), as well as any technologies used (e.g. online surveys, social media analysis programs, etc.). The narrative should also clearly describe M&E expenditures listed in your program budget. Further, the narrative should demonstrate the organization’s capacity to implement the PMP proposed. 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. An example includes:
