Accolade Strategic Solutions Limited offering regarding M&E includes development of M&E plans, project implementation plans and M&E frameworks. Continuous data collection before and during and after program roll out(monitoring), as well as measuring outcomes,
impact and effectiveness of the programmes (Evaluation).
The reliability of conclusions and evaluation depends to a large extent on the manner in which monitoring and evaluation is conducted. To asses performance, it is necessary to select, before the implementation of the project, indicators, which will permit the rating of the targeted outputs and outcomes. In our experience, an outcome indicator has two components; the baseline, which is the situation before the programme or a project begins and the target, which is the expected situation at the end of the project. An output indicator that does not have any baseline as the purpose of the outputs is to introduce something that does not exist yet.
The progress and success of the project is vital to the project sustainability, thus comprehensive M&E and reporting resources are essential. Our support includes designing and implementing M&E systems, M&E system strengthening, M&E frameworks, capacity building to ensure organizations observe accurate and up to date M&E practices as well as assisting organizations in identifying optimum M&E technical support.
