What is M&E? Itera&ve success, rather than failure
Monitoring System for data gathering & con7nuous repor7ng
Periodic progress repor7ng
Iden7fica7on of: - Small programma7c
adjustments - Capacity development needs
Outcomes: - Improved repor7ng - Capacity building - Increased & improved
teamwork - Improved efficiency &
effec7veness
Evalua7on Full repor7ng of results
Iden7fica7on of roadblocks
Offering of recommenda7ons Outcomes:
- Program learning - Transparency - Sustainable results - Improved donor-‐implementer
partnership - Poten7al for advocacy
When to do holis&c M&E?
1) Project Design
2) Baseline EvaluaPon
3) Midterm EvaluaPon
4) Endline/Final EvaluaPon

Using NVivo for M&E
Hint: Coding interviews by ques&on, with a code for ‘quote,’ can later speed up your search for par&cularly persuasive quotes.
Helpful Tips: a) Apply a gender-‐sensiPve lens to every piece of work you do.
b) Look for words or phrases that repeatedly appear.
c) Code in research groups to help idenPfy areas of difficult interpretaPon.
Your Code Flow 1) Code with broad nodes
2) Code with narrow, per X metric, nodes 3) Code with text queries
4) Analyze at the intersecPon of nodes
Bridging NVivo with STATA
Hint: Quotes are useful to break up large sec&ons of quan&ta&ve data analysis. Think of big data as global and qualita&ve data as local.
1) Import Codes from Nvivo à XLS à STATA
Or
1) Import complimentary dataset 2) Recode using similar variable names as NVivo nodes 3) Run analysis in similar pabern to research quesPons
explored in NVivo
