2.2 Flashcards
Some of the key questions the plan will have to address
1-who involved
2-what are
-the expected benefits to stakeholders/ key partners
-risks
-technological solutions
3-How can we ensure good performance? , maintained in the long run
Part 1 Detailed Implementation Plan (DIP)
DIP Def: Maps out
how to bring your planned activities to life
by breaking it into identifiable steps
where each step is assigned a to team member to complete
on a set timeline
with specific allocated resources
When the DIP must to be developed?
At the beginning of the Program or Project
At which level?
Project Management level involving all program manager staff and departments, the stakeholders, partners.
The DIP will
dictate the direction of the proj/prog strategy
allocating resources
developing real strategies to cover the identified gaps
What are the benefits of an DIP?
Determine activities
Assign responsibilities
stay on track
Increase cooperation
Map out assumptions and risks
Research and Acc
ENSURE BUY-IN
Components of DIP
Define Goals/Objective
Establish a project team
Allocate Resources
Designate Team Member Responsibilities
Identify all risk areas
Define indicators for success
Define how you will adapt
Evaluate success
Preparing the project WP & B
An easy way to prepare a work plan is by
1-organizing the information you have collected on what you want to do in a hierarchical sequenced:
2-starting with the objective
3-Then moving on to the outputs that contribute to that objective
4-then to tasks that contribute to achieving the output.
5-look at the timing and sequencing of all of these outputs, tasks and activities
to see how everything fits together.
6-assign costs to all of these sequenced actions
to determine when funds will be needed to cover the expenses.
This information is then arranged in the form of a
monthly or quarterly expenditure plan or budget
ESTABLISHING A PARTICIPATORY
MONITORING AND EVALUATION SYSTEM
In addition to the DIP , B , you will also have to create
a simple mechanism to monitor project implementation performance
In addition to the DIP , B , you will also have to create a
simple mechanism to monitor project implementation performance
How? This is usually done by identifying clear and measurable
“milestone events,”
outputs
tasks
activities
that have to be
1-accomplished within a specified period of time
2-meet certain quality standards
If you have prepared the project WP correctly, you should be able to
extract most of the information you will need to monitor implementation performance from WP
In summary, the more detailed it is, the
easier it will be to track project performance.

PART 2 MEAL
Monitoring is defined by OECD ?
as
A continuing assessment
that uses
1-systematic collection of data on specified indicators
2-wider information on the implementation of projects
Why we monitor?
to providemanagement and the main ST of
1-an ongoing development intervention
2- indications of the
extent of progress
achievement of objectives
progress in the use of allocated funds
Evaluation is defined by OECD as?
The systematic and objective assessment of an
on-going or completed
project, programme or policy,
its design, implementation and results.
The aim of EV is to
determine the
relevance
fulfilment of objectives,
development efficiency, effectiveness,
impact and sustainability.
Why EV?
An evaluation should provide information that is
credible and useful,
enabling the incorporation of LL into the DMP of both recipients and donors
