This series provides guidance for designing and implementing a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system. This series supports and complements CRS’ global M&E standards (CRS 2009). While the global standards represent the agency’s commitment to quality M&E as a key component of program quality, this series provides ‘how to’ guidance for operationalizing this commitment in practice.
Ed. Guy Sharrock et al.
CRS et la Croix Rouge Américaine ont collaboré dans la création de cette série en neuf parties de matériaux de formation et de renforcement des capacités dans le domaine du suivi et de l’évaluation (S&E). Les modules fournissent des informations pratiques sur des sujets variant du recrutement à la préparation des évaluations de projets. Ils ont été conçus et développés pour répondre aux besoins d’assistance identifiés par les employés de terrain et fournissent des outils non disponsibles dans d’autres publications. Les exemples sont liés à la programmation Titre II, mais le matériel est approprié pour les domaines autres que la sécurité alimentaire.

A Child-Centered Monitoring and Evaluation Tool
Station Days is a child-friendly M&E field activity that assists project staff who have historically been involved in projects targeting orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) to appreciate and understand the critical issues affecting beneficiaries’ lives. This participatory activity targets children aged 10 and above. The data collected through Station Days is used to effectively measure project outputs, outcomes and impacts. Making M&E activities enjoyable for children ensures they will want to participate, which in turn improves the quality of data received. Information gathered at Station Days has proven to be consistent, reliable, comparable and much simpler to collect than data collected from other methods. More importantly though, Station Days are designed to be fun and exciting so that children appreciate and enjoy the activity. This guide explains the overall Station Days methodology and provides project managers with concrete steps to develop and implement their own version of Station Days appropriate to their country and cultural context.
The M&E Standards Support Tool is intended to support staff to generate discussion and address gaps in the current level of attainment of the Project Performance and Organizational Performance Quality Standards. While the questions are posed in a yes/no manner, responses will require discussion and critical review.
Utilisation des standards pour améliorer le Suivi et l’Evaluation
L’outil de soutien du S&E vise à encourager les employés du CRS à évaluer le niveau actuel d’accomplissement des Standards de qualité de la performance du projet et de l’organisation. Bien que les questions soient posées en oui ou non, les réponses devront être précédées de discussions et d’une revue critique du sujet.
