Table 2 Failures of Monitoring

1) Planning

- No monitoring plan or no guideline to evaluate phase by phase

- No pilot to assess feasibility of intervention package, implementers’ skills, adequacy of data

- Interventions did not match predefined indicators

2) Evaluation on how and to what extent the objectives are reached

- Emphasis on administrative and financial monitoring

- Data collected focused only on number of activities and reached people; rather than quality of service delivery or degree of behavior change

- Single monitoring format for countries with different interventions

- Monitoring did not include all objectives of the ToC

- Data collected had no feedback on intervention activities

3) Identification of failures to produce outputs

- No monitoring to identify difficulties or flaws

- No monitoring to describe implementation challenges

- No report on mid-project adjustment of IP activities
