IFAD
A
guide for projects monitoring and evaluation
http://www.ifad.org/evaluation/guide/index.htm
This
Guide has been written to help project managers and M&E staff
improve the quality of M&E in IFAD-supported projects. The Guide
focuses on how M&E can support project management and engage
project stakeholders in understanding project progress, learning
from achievements and problems, and agreeing on how to improve both
strategy and operations. The main functions of M&E are: ensuring
improvement-oriented critical reflection, learning to maximize the
impact of rural development projects, and showing this impact to
be accountable.
The Guide is meant to improve M&E in IFAD-supported projects,
as a study found that most projects have a fairly low standard of
M&E. It provides comprehensive advice on how to set up and implement
an M&E system, plus background ideas that underpin the suggestions.
Access to online full text or downloadable PDF file is organized
by sections and annexes.

EvalWeb :
www.dec.org/partners/evalweb/
USAID's EvalWeb is a central resource for evaluation practitioners
as well as those generally interested in evaluation and programme
assessment. The site points out that evaluations should be driven
by a real need for information. This information should be used
by management to improve programmes and policies. In addition, evaluations
should serve as a valuable tool through which international organizations
learn and improve.
The
site offers:
-
tools and resources to help you with evaluations ;
-
contact information and links to other evaluators and evaluation
organisations ;
-
lists and links to recent and upcoming evaluations ;
-
a collaborative online community where practitioners and others
can exchange ideas and resources.
