Monitoring & Evaluation

Monitoring is the ongoing collection of data to measure program results. Monitoring can be conducted using tools and methods such as through registration forms, pre- and post-event surveys, interviews, focus groups, social media data, etc.

In this section, describe how and when you will track program results. Some examples of program results may include: participants increase knowledge and awareness about a topic; participants change attitudes about a topic; participants gain and practice new skills; participants change behaviors; and/or participants establish and sustain connections and partnerships. We recommend measuring changes in awareness and skills before and immediately after the activity, using a post-activity survey. We recommend measuring changes in attitudes and behaviors after the activity, using a one-month follow-up survey.

Example:

ACTIVITY: Training
PROGRAM RESULTS: 150 Uruguayan university students gain knowledge and skills in entrepreneurship.
HOW: Conduct pre and post surveys to assess participants' knowledge and awareness levels before and after the training.
WHEN: Pre-survey will be administered at the beginning of the program, and the post-survey will be conducted immediately after the training.
FOLLOW-UP: We recommend to measure changes in attitudes and behaviors after the activity, using a one-month follow-up survey.
