Abstract

Action Monitoring for Effectiveness focuses on practical methods to improve projects/programmes in the short term. It emphasizes use of monitoring information at the lowest level possible, with referral to other levels as needed. This two-volume book describes how to organize and facilitate monitoring activities that are built into on-going programmes. Part I describes the approach, emphasizing participation by those people who have a vested interest in 'getting it right' and solving problems. Part I also describes data collection methods, simple sampling and analysis. Part II contains 30 Fact Sheets, each of which provides practical examples of indicators, methods and tools for monitoring a specific topic, such as construction quality, costs and community participation. This book is based on 10 years of experience at community, district and national levels first in Asia and then in Africa and Latin America. It has been written especially for senior and supervisory staff involved in water and environmental sanitation programmes, although the methods are relevant to other development sectors.
