Monitoring and Reporting Officer

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) exercises conducted at IDLO follow the international OECD DAC standards. Within this context, IDLO strives to strengthen and coordinate its internal project monitoring system across all its field activities. Project monitoring is an integral part of the project cycle and a pre-requisite for successful results-based management (RBM). By periodically assessing the extent of the overall project progress (at the input, output and outcome level), it generates important information on the project advancement and allows for necessary adjustments. It also generates important data for a higher level of appraisals as, inter alia, mid-term reviews and (impact) evaluations.
