CoE-Pakistan is a group of development planners and M&E professionals for sharing knowledge and experiences in the field of development planning, performance auditing, monitoring and evaluation. The Government of Pakistan has accorded priority to accountability and outcome results; (results-based monitoring and evaluation of policies, programs and projects). CoE-Pakistan has accordingly prioritsed its programs and is focusing on institutionalization of the results chain in the development process through different initiatives including project preparation as per guidelines of Planning commission, Third Party Monitoring/ Validation, training and capacity building of the public & private organizations, communities and NGOs in collaboration with national and international partners, donors and organizations.
Monitoring plays an important role in output management of a program/project. Monitoring is the provision and use of information to enable management to assess progress of implementation of project against physical scope pf work/targets for a specific period. It helps the management to take timely decisions to ensure that physical progress is maintained according to approved cost scope of work.
The monitoring of projects is a continuous process and when undertaken by the project management is called Internal Monitoring and in case other than project management is called External Monitoring.
The evaluation is an important segment in the Project Cycle. The End-Term Evaluation facilitate management to determine the extent of which, the project has been implemented as per approved capital cost, scope of work and implementation period. It serve as a feedback for future investment in similar projects.
The Impact Evaluation/Third Party Evaluation determine the impact of the investment on the target group. In order to quantify the impact, baseline survey is undertaken before the project/program intervention and end-line survey data is collected to quantify the impact of the project intervention. The qualitative data is collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and Key Informant Interviews (KII).
The key to success of a project/program depends upon the human resources engaged in planning, designing and implementation of project activities. It has been observed that Public Sector Projects are generally delayed, cost increased and benefits delayed to the target group. The main reasons are capacity constrains in management of development projects. The NGOs working in Pakistan also generally do not have the capacity to undertake evaluation of project/program.
In order to quantify the areas of intervention for capacity building of professionals, Community of Evaluators Pakistan undertook a Public Sector Need Assessment. The data was collected from 403 respondents of Federal and Provincial Governments. The assessment indicates that 74% of the respondents require training in Project Preparation, 79% in Project Implementation and 78% in Mid-line and End-line Evaluation. A training needs assessment has also been undertaken for the planning & development department of government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Government of KP according designed a training programme for the officers of P&D and Line Departments in Project Management. The core team of CoE imparted training in Project Management to 160 officers of Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The pre and post knowledge assessment of the participants indicate massive improvement of knowledge of participants.
