Strategic Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation
As an international NGO with a wide range of geographical, technical and social initiatives ITDGPractical Action realises the high importance of planning, monitoring and evaluating the activities it undertakes -- at project and programme levels and at the strategic organisational level.
ITDGPractical Action recognises its responsibility to stakeholders (communities, staff, partners, donors, governments and others) to undertake work effectively and efficiently in order to achieve planned objectives.
ITDGPractical Action currently undertakes approximately 80 approved projects in four continents. The field work projects are predominantly an active form of practical research to demonstrate a hypothesis -- will a new approach work and how? Will a methodology successfully applied in one location or community be effective in a different one?
Successful demonstrations are used to create wider impact through 'scaling-up' these activities above and beyond the core capacity of the lTDG project. ITDGPractical Action not only needs to know what it achieves or fails to achieve, but how project work was undertaken from the social, economic, environmental and technological perspectives.
The pages in this area of the site are currently under construction.
The pages on ITDGPractical Action's monitoring and planning cycle will explain the strategic business planning process in ITDGPractical Action.
The pages on project and programme monitoring will give an insight into the methods, practice and lessons learned from ITDGPractical Action's quality assurance work.
