We ensure that there are comprehensive and robust Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) systems in place that effectively track the progress of the complex integrated rural development projects managed and/or supported by Millennium Promise such as the Millennium Villages Project
(MVP), the Sustainable Villages Project
(SVP) and the Sustainable Districts Program
(SDP).
Our M & E system captures real-time performance data that will routinely help to improve program operations. It will also include survey data based on SDG targets and indicators. Its tools, protocols and methodologies are being developed based on the best practice assessments from the MVP’s 10-year period of carrying out monitoring and evaluation activities.
Our work falls into the following major areas of concentration:
Progress Monitoring:
development of an open source-based performance-monitoring platform, called DHIS2 [https://www.dhis2.org/] being widely adopted in more than 45 countries, mostly in Africa. The software has proven to be better synchronized with regard to data collection, aggregation and visualization – allowing for real-time creation of SDG indicator dashboards.
Data Management & Analysis:
MP’s database includes both quantitative and qualitative data that are collected from all sector interventions and programs. The data are linked to SDG indicators and also includes other performance monitoring indicators.
Technical Assistance.
Our M & E team has multidisciplinary expertise and experience to provide technical assistance in other countries by developing M & E systems for the implementation of their M & E activities using methodologies and tools to adapt to the SDG-era monitoring & evaluation frameworks.
Evaluation:
we conduct an objective evaluation at the end of each project, using household survey modules that measure more than 80 SDG indicators.
