CORE MODULE 3:Developing a Monitoring and Evaluation Work PlanThis Monitoring and Evaluation series is based on the assumption that Core Module 1 (Introduction toMonitoring and Evaluation) is always the first module, that it is followed directly by Core Module 2(Collecting, Analyzing, and Using Monitoring Data), which is followed by one or more of the optionaltechnical area modules (Modules 4 through 10), and that in all cases the final module is Core Module 3(Developing a Monitoring and Evaluation Plan). The specified sequence is shown below:1. Core Module 1: Introduction to Monitoring and Evaluation2. Core Module 2: Collecting, Analyzing, and Using Monitoring Data3. Optional Technical Area Modules 4 through 104. Core Module 3: Developing a Monitoring and Evaluation PlanLearning ObjectivesThe goal of the workshop is to increase participants’ capacity to develop and implementcomprehensive monitoring and evaluation work plans for country/site specific HIV/AIDS/STI Prevention,Care and Impact Mitigation programs.At the end of this session, participants will be able to: Understand the rationale, key elements, and steps required to develop a Monitoring andEvaluation Work PlanApply program goals and objectives in developing a Monitoring and Evaluation Work PlanDevelop program monitoring and evaluation questions and indicators and review the issuesrelated to program evaluation, including selection of data collection methodologiesReview Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plan implementation issues: Who will carry out thework?

A.Welcome and Review8:30-8:4515 minA. Welcome and ReviewFacilitator PresentationFacilitator Note: Before participants arrive, place small signs with country names on them at eachtable/table cluster, and as participants enter the classroom, welcome them and ask them to sit at atable identifying the country where their program is. The seating arrangement will facilitate crossfertilization of ideas among participants from countries with and without current M&E work plans.8:30-8:401.(10 min)Welcome Participants and Group IntroductionsThank participants for arriving on time and remind them (in a humorous way) that anyone who arriveslate will be subject to shame and humiliation from the whole group.Next, because this module (Core Module 3: Developing a Monitoring and Evaluation Plan) is the lastmodule, delivered after Core Module 1 (Introduction to Monitoring and Evaluation) and Core Module 2(Collecting, Analyzing, and Using Monitoring Data) and after any of the Optional Technical Areamodules (4 through 10), participants will be familiar with each other. Therefore, each morning duringthis time, the facilitator can take about 15 minutes to review with the participants the material theyhave learned in the preceding modules. This provides an excellent opportunity to generate energyamong the group by asking the participants to ask questions of each other, to quiz each other, and tosee who has the answer. This review activity can be light, energetic, and even humorous. Encourageparticipants to stand up or do something else physical as they ask or answer their questions.8:40-8:452.(5 min)Overview of Workshop Objectives and AgendaThe goal of this workshop is to build your skills in developing and implementing comprehensivemonitoring and evaluation work plans for country/site-specific HIV/AIDS/STI prevention, care, andimpact mitigation programs.At the end of this session, participants will be able to: Understand the rationale, key elements, and steps required to develop a Monitoring andEvaluation Work PlanApply program goals and objectives in developing an M&E Work PlanDevelop program M&E questions and indicators and review the issues related to programevaluation, including selecting data collection methodologiesReview M&E Work Plan implementation issues: Who will carry out the work?

There will be a 15-minute mid-morning break, lunch will be from 12:00 to 1:00, and there will be a 15minute mid-afternoon break. We will finish the workshop by 5:00 p.m.B.Overview of Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plans8:45-10:0075 minB. Overview of Monitoring and Evaluation Work PlansFacilitator Presentation,Discussion,Small Group ActivityMaterials Handout/Overhead: Key Elements of Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plan Handout: The Seven Steps to Developing an Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plan8:45-8:50 (5 min)1. Overview of Monitoring and Evaluation Work PlansTell participants: You have learned about the critical elements of monitoring and evaluation inprevious modules, and you have shared and learned knowledge and skills about the “what,” “why,”“how,” and “when” of monitoring and evaluation. Today, the final day of the training, we will practicedeveloping a complete Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plan.The Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plan is a flexible guide to the steps you can use to documentproject activities, answer evaluation questions, and show progress toward project goals and objectives.As a guide, the M&E Work Plan explains the goals and objectives of the overall plan as well as theevaluation questions, methodologies, implementation plan, matrix of expected results, proposedtimeline, and M&E instruments for gathering data.To ensure that M&E activities produce useful results, it is essential that you incorporate M&E in theprogram design stage. Planning an intervention and designing an M&E strategy are inseparableactivities. To ensure the relevance and sustainability of M&E activities, project designers mustcollaborate with stakeholders and donors to develop an integrated and comprehensive M&E plan.Projects at all levels, whether single interventions or multiple integrated projects, should have an M&Eplan in place to assess the project’s progress toward achieving its goals and objectives and to informkey stakeholders and program designers about M&E results. Such plans will guide the design ofmonitoring and evaluation, highlight what information remains to be collected and how best to collectit, and suggest how to use the results to achieve greater effectiveness and efficiency.Comprehensive M&E plans should describe the overall goals and objectives of the country program(i.e., they should be site-specific); the specific M&E questions, methods, and designs to be used; whatdata will be collected and how; the required resources; who will implement the various components ofthe M&E work plan; and the timeline of the M&E plan.Monitoring and evaluation work plans are often written to cover a four- to five-year period becausethey may involve numerous M&E efforts on multiple interventions for different target populations.Some of these M&E activities require time to observe intervention or program outcomes (immediate orshort-term effects) as well as overall program impact (long-term effects).Core Module 3:Developing a Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plan4

8:50-9:05(15 min)2. Developing a Monitoring and Evaluation Work PlanFacilitator should review Handout: Key Elements of Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plan withparticipants. As we learned earlier, it is important to involve program planners, evaluators, donors, andother stakeholders (e.g., National AIDS and STD Control Program, National AIDS Commission,and other multisectoral program partners) throughout the development and design of the M&Ework plan.Stakeholder involvement in the early phases helps ensure that results obtained from an M&Eeffort will be used in an ongoing manner. Involving members of the target community alsohelps inform the process.3. Seven Steps to Develop a Monitoring and Evaluation Work PlanFacilitator should review Handout: The Seven Steps to Developing a Monitoring and Evaluation WorkPlan with participants.9:05-9:20(15 min)4. Opportunities and Barriers for M&E Work Plan Development and ImplementationYou will often find opportunities to develop and implement monitoring and evaluation plans for yourprograms, projects, and interventions. You will also encounter barriers to being able to conductmonitoring and evaluation efforts. The idea is to, as a team, identify in the planning stageopportunities and barriers with a view toward problem-solving and maximizing opportunities. You candesign some of these solutions into your work plan and be flexible so that you can make adjustmentswithin the context of your work plan to account for issues that may arise during the M&E process.Group ActivityDivide the participants into four groups of about five people each.Then ask:Group 1 to list opportunities for developing a Monitoring and Evaluation Work PlanGroup 2 to list barriers to developing a Monitoring and Evaluation Work PlanGroup 3 to list opportunities for implementing a Monitoring and Evaluation Work PlanGroup 4 to list barriers to implementing a Monitoring and Evaluation Work PlanAsk each group to create these lists in the context of faith-based interventions.Facilitator Note: When doing this activity, the groups often lean toward more “generic”opportunities and barriers, but encourage them to come up with responses specific to faith-basedinterventions).Core Module 3:Developing a Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plan5

9:20-9:40 (approx.)(20-25 min)Give the groups 10 minutes to generate their lists.Facilitator Note: You can help the groups create and prepare their lists in a timely manner bywalking around and visiting the different groups and asking them how they’re doing (“Have youdecided on the barrier?” “Have you begun your list?”). If a group is falling behind the other groups,encourage them to move onto the next step, reminding them that this is an example of what theymight include, but that it is not necessary to provide an exhaustive or extensive list.Give the groups another five minutes to select one barrier, propose a way to overcome it, and prepareto “act out” the barrier and solution they identified for the rest of the class. Invite them to do so bysinging a song, writing a poem, engaging in role-playing, or using any other creative approach.Facilitator Note: When it is time for the groups to decide how they will present to the group, askthem if they would like to use markers to create signage or if there is anything else they need. Alsoencourage creativity, letting them know that a song, skit, TV commercial, or anything else theythink of is entirely welcome. Keep the groups moving forward from concept to rehearsal ormaterials development so they are ready in time.9:40-10:00 (approx.)(15–20 min)Convene the full group and give each group five minutes to demonstrate the barrier and the solutionthat they identified. After each group’s presentation, encourage the full class to note what they sawand learned.10:00-10:15B.15 minBREAKOverview of Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plans (cont’d)10:15-10:3015 minB. Overview of Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plans(cont’d)Facilitator Presentation5. Assessing How Well the Monitoring and Evaluation Plan WorksPlanning an HIV/AIDS/STI Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plan is a dynamic process due to the evolvingnature of the key issues, including indicators for M&E programs. Also, the contextual basis ofprogramming changes over time. Therefore, it is important to periodically assess how well theMonitoring and Evaluation Work Plan is working, with a view toward making changes as appropriate.Ask participants to note changes that have taken place within and outside the parameters of theirprograms and how this is affecting their M&E plan. Example: Another donor is funding a new international NGO to work within the same sites andtarget groups in a district in Malawi. How will this affect the existing M&E plan?Take comments from the participants and sum up using the overhead on “Assessing How Well theEvaluation Plan Works.”Core Module 3:Developing a Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plan6

Key questions to be asked to determine if an M&E plan is working include the following:Key Questions Are the M&E activities progressing as planned? Are M&E questions being answered sufficiently? Are other data needed to answer thesequestions? How can such data be obtained? Should the M&E questions be re-framed? Have other M&E questions arisen that should beincorporated into the plan? Are there any methodological or valuation design issues that need to be addressed? Are thereany practical or political factors that need to be considered? Are any changes in the M&E plan needed at this time? How will these changes be made? Whowill implement them? Are appropriate staff and funding still available to complete the evaluation plan? How are findings from M&E activities being used and disseminated? Should anything be done toenhance their application to programs?C.Creating a Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plan10:30-12:0090 minC. Creating a Monitoring and Evaluation Work PlanSmall Group ActivityMaterials Workbook for M&E Work Plan Development (distributed separately by facilitator) M&E Work Plan Template (distributed separately by facilitator)Small Group ActivityThe participants should be sitting at (or should return to) the tables/table clusters they sat at earlier inthe morning.Each group’s task for the rest of the training period is to develop a Monitoring and Evaluation WorkPlan for a group member’s program. They should follow the steps outlined in the previous sections andproduce a comprehensive work plan that covers all aspects discussed today. Remind them that keystakeholders normally would be present when they carry out this planning activity. Today they have achance to go through the process by themselves. When they return home, they should take othersthrough this process and incorporate their ideas into the work plan that they have started this week.12:00-1:00C.60 minLUNCHCreating a Monitoring and Evaluation Work Plan (cont’d)1:00-2:3090 minC.
