I - Introduction- Fundamentals
Monitoring and evaluation are a sine qua non of any organized structure.
Laconic monitoring and prudent evaluation are the keys to the success of any project or assignment.
‘Monitoring’ is a tool for gathering supervised information and ‘Evaluation’ is concerned with assessing the progress and advising solutions. Why is it done? To understand the progress of the project or assignment in whatever sphere.
Confining ourselves with the concept of project monitoring and evaluation, let us first understand what a project is.
A collaborative enterprise, having a purpose and a strategy to accomplish that purpose is a project.
Project Management Institute (2017) A guide to the project management body of knowledge (PMBOK guide 6th edition)- defines a project as “a ‘temporary endeavor’ aimed to drive changes in teams, organizations, or societies. The output of a project is normally a unique product, service, or result.”
The Project Management Institute (PMI) substantiated the term and added that - Project refers to” any temporary endeavor with a definite beginning and end”.
Mesly, Olivier (2016) in his treatise Project Feasibility: Tools for Uncovering Points of Vulnerability has explained the term project “as consisting concrete and organized effort motivated by a perceived opportunity when facing a problem, a need, a desire, or a source of discomfort (e.g., lack of proper ventilation in a building).
