The purpose of covering the topic
         To equip learners with the knowledge that can can 
         enable them to:
     •     Design an M&E system for a nutrition     Programme
     •     Conduct M&E
     •     Effectively use a M&E data base to monitor 
         progress in Programme implementation
                                   
                                   
                        M&E cont.
                        M&E cont.
    •   The M&E session covers the following areas:
       – Purpose of M&E in programming.
       – Components of an M&E plan /framework for 
           a   nutrition Programme
       – Conducting M&E activities
       – M&E indicators
       – Evaluation of nutrition programmes in 
           emergency situations

    • Monitoring: what is it?
           It is the ongoing collection and review of 
           information on project implementation, 
       coverage and utilization that is reported       and 
       acted on, on on-going basis.
                                 
                                 
                                         M&E cont.
                                          M&E cont.
  • Why do monitoring?
       – To improve intervention programmes by identifying 
            aspects that are working as planned and those that 
      need correction.
       – To modify Programme as per identified need.
       – To ensure that all needy cases are reached:
            General food ration reaches all targeted persons
            By maximising on inclusion of deserving cases and 
          exclusion of undeserving cases in  special targeting I.e 
          severely malnourished
       – To track ( and demonstrate) results at the program or 
          population level.

    • Thus monitoring is used to determine how well a 
      Programme is being implemented
       –At different levels
       –At what cost
       –Also tracks the changes occurring due to 
         interventions being implemented
          (positive or negative
