Monitoring & Evaluation
The success of investments, programmes and projects may be greatly enhanced by the planned and rigorous application of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) tools within the management cycle. Effective M&E systems enable the demonstration of impact, achievement and progress and can provide an early warning system of problems or inefficiencies. M&E systems are an essential building block to create a culture of learning and adaptive management within any organisation.
Our team has a range and depth of experience and skills in M&E, including experienced facilitators committed to guiding participatory approaches at site, sub-national, national and international levels. We assist our clients by providing skills and experience in the design, establishment, implementation, analysis and improvement of M&E strategies and systems.
Central to our approach is understanding the interests of the client and the beneficiary and generating feedback for them on how relevant, efficient, effective, and sustainable their work is. LTS has an impressive and diverse track record in the provision of M&E services.
...we provide skills and experience in the design establishment, implementation, analysis and improvement of monitoring and evaluation at thematic, country, sector, programme and project levels...
Our specialist team can:
- Guide the elaboration of comprehensive M&E strategies and systems for simple or complex projects and programmes.
- Conduct output-to-purpose, mid-term, end of project, post-hoc, sector-wide and/or thematic evaluations.
- Review country-wide action plans and multi-sector programmes.
- Assess natural resource and forest sector contributions to Poverty Reduction Strategies and Millennium Development Goals.
One of the key benefits of M&E is the scope it provides for lesson learning. LTS has developed powerful tools to facilitate a lesson learning process that helps to inform the decisions of managers and policy makers.
