Monitoring and Evaluation Wiki

Moderated by: Alexandra Pittman

 

 

Overview of the M&E Wiki  

The aim of this wiki is to stimulate experience sharing and build a body of practical knowledge and experience of M&E in terms of measuring gender equality (or other related human rights issues). To that end, we have two primary sections, the first section is for individuals working on M&E or assessments to share thoughts, struggles, or successes for other members of the community to share. This is a space to pose questions or offer advice and to gain feedback from colleagues around the world. The second section is a compendium (a library of sorts) with descriptions of major M&E frameworks, approaches, and tools used to track social change and justice, along with the link to their original source. We also provide a brief overview and critical analysis of the strengths and weaknesses. The strengths and weaknesses analysis have been written from the perspective of trying to capture the complexity of changes related to women’s rights work, building on the work of Capturing Changes in Women's Realities. There are also case studies of different techniques for deeper discussion and experience exchange as well. 

 

The wiki is intended to be a living document, and this is the beginning stage of that life. Together we can make it evolve into a more effective resource for different communities. We encourage your active participation in shaping its contents to fit your needs and aims.

 

If you have other frameworks, approaches, or tools that you would like to add to the wiki or compendium library please provide your own summary, strength and weakness analysis, and links to the original source. You can either upload it yourself or send it to me for upload. In addition, if your organization has worked with any of the approaches, please feel free to add your own experiences, assessments, and critiques in the comments section, share your thoughts and experiences in Part 1, or add directly to the bulleted list of strengths/weaknesses in the summary itself. The more information we share about the approaches and tools and their past and potential uses, the stronger our M&E practices will become.

 

Enjoy,

Alexandra
