Project Implementation:
• Oversee effective management of projects to ensure efficient resource utilization.
• Prepare and circulate quarterly project status reports for NICI III implementation
institutions to ensure alignment with cluster and project objectives.
• Organise FWG meetings to ensure project ownership and smooth implementation.
Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E):
Building on international best practices the following M&E activities are proposed:
•
Develop a results-based monitoring framework for all focus area projects
The recommended M&E log frame structure is as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Select a sub-set of so-called SMART indicators for on-going data gathering and reporting
(simple, measurable, attainable, reliable, and tractable)
Define precisely the nature and format of the data to be captured
Design data input forms for each project to enable routine capture of indicator data
Plan and initiate periodic (monthly, quarterly, etc.) data collection by relevant
implementing agencies
Design and implement a data capture system (excel, access, etc.) and online reporting
format
Gather, validate, capture and report indicator data at regular intervals to ensure
conformance with project activities, and objective verification of project outputs and
outcomes
Compile quarterly M&E reports with NICI III implementing institutions for submission
to relevant stakeholders
Provide recommendations to the NICI III implementing institutions on how to improve
the implementation process
External Monitoring and Evaluation
RDB should continue to leverage external M&E experts to ensure objective evaluation of project
outputs and outcomes. This independent evaluation should be undertaken on a yearly basis. The
external M&E experts will carry out the following functions:
•
Verify the M&E processes of the Planning and Coordination Unit within RDB/ICT,
