ERRA Monitoring and Evaluation
(M&E) Wing monitors the implementation
and results of the reconstruction and
rehabilitation efforts. It captures
relevant challenges and their
progresses at various stages, along
with the sectoral evaluation, and
assistance to bridge the compliance
gaps. The M&E Wing primarily focuses
on the project and programme
monitoring, data collection, and
compilation, as well as the evaluation
of the accumulated data to identify
the challenges occurring in each
sector.
The ERRA M&E System follows a
harmonised and interrelated (internal
and external) mechanism of
institutional transparency and
accountability. This mechanism is
structured around the principles of
international validation, regular
monitoring and data collection,
programmme and financial audits,
project reviews and external
evaluation of the same through donors
and other independent reviews.
The M&E Wing designs and implements
the central M&E system, through the
devised Earthquake Monitoring and
Evaluation Framework (EMEF), jointly
developed and approved by the ERRA
Monitoring and Evaluation Advisory
Committee (MEAC). The EMEF provides a
harmonised approach to assess the
reconstruction efforts of ERRA
specific sectors. It draws upon
lessons learnt from the reconstruction
process following previous
humanitarian disasters and on
successful M&E programmes implemented
in varying contexts. Following the
‘programme logic model’, monitoring is
conducted for inputs, outputs,
outcomes and impacts of ERRA specific
interventions.
The regular monitoring is applied in
quantifying the quality of the
programmes, assessment of the
progress, identification of goals and
achievements along with the challenges
being faced. Field based Construction
Monitoring Teams (CMTs) conduct
Technical Monitoring at the input and
output levels, which provides for the
appropriateness, relevance, quality
and compliance-related elements. Field
based Social Survey Teams (SSTs) carry
out the Social Monitoring presenting
the outcomes and social impacts. The
social monitoring reports inform the
management regarding effectiveness,
efficiency and sustainability of ERRA
specific services. Combined results of
completed facilities/ extension of
services and changes in peoples’ lives
are covered at the impact level.
Approaches, processes, tools and
products devised and delivered by the
M&E Wing support the ERRA management
to make timely decisions related to
compliance and mid course correction,
and form the basis for lessons learned
and knowledge management . |
