At this stage, it is important to think about some questions concerning the feasibility of your participatory process’ M&E system. Depending the resources dedicated to M&E, all the indicators may not be completed.
Think about the next questions, and then fill the P3 column of your M&E framework considering which information would be collectable to complete indicators.
Will you be able to collect and analyze data on all the indicators that you listed ?
- Who will be the local evaluator(s)?
- Will the process manager and facilitator also carry out part of the M&E?
- What are the resources available for M&E? (time, budget,… )
- Who will use the results of the M&E?
- Are these primary intended users involved in one way or another in the M&E?
- Who are the targeted informants?
- How many times will they be solicited?
- How often does the data need to be analysed?
- Who will analyse the data?
- …
If this exercise is too much difficult, please continue with phase 4 and come back later to this phase.
