Why Do We Care about M&E?

M&E helps the CTF to understand…how a program is being carried out if grant requirements are being methow to avoid dispersing limited resources

activities with little impact on biodiversity

General M&E involves:

Review of periodic reportsTracking expendituresField visits Approval of changes to

projects

Two Types of Indicators

Project completion indicators

Biodiversity impact indicators

Do CTFs Usually Perform M&E?

Many CTFs wait with M&E

CTFs are less inclined todo technical monitoring of activitiesmonitor outputs and overall objectivesconduct comprehensive project evaluations

Best Practices for M&E

CTFs should require each grantee to:Include goals and indicators for each projectCollect relevant baseline dataSubmit data several times during projectMeasure changes in key indicators

Questions???

Are there any helpful tools that can help guide M&E? Is M&E part of a Fund’s operating/ administrative costs?
