2.4.3 Monitoring for Effectiveness in School Sanitation andHygiene\EducationProgrammes:Facilitated By Ms. Eveline Bolt,Representativeof IRC/theNetherlands

Monitoring takesplaceat different levelsandincludesnot only the collectionof informationbutalso the planning for remedial action. This increases managementcapacity and makesmonitoring more sustainable.Shehighlighted the sevenstepsmonitoringprinciple for effectiveaction.

Stepsand principles for Monitoring and Action for EffectivenessPreparation

•• Thereneedsto be a commonunderstandingon objectivesand targetsof SSHE (amongSteeringCommitteemembers),building on nationalpolicies and taking surveydate(needs)asa startingpoint.

•• Examinecurrentmonitoring activities: on what do they tell us?Are datauseful?Are dataaccurate?Is it action oriented?Do we missout on importantareas?

StepI

Identify key issues,problems and concerns

~ Consultimportantstakeholders.includingcommunitymembersandschoolmanagementcommittees,to identify key issues,problemsandconcerns.

~ May bestbe donein separategroups(leaders,users,)~ Outputs:

A list of issuesfor monitoring.

Step II

Define indicators

o To whatextentshouldX be achieved?o How shouldY be done?

An indicator should have the following parts

o Theissueto be monitored.o Cleardefinition ofeachkeyword.o How much,to whatextent?o Targetaudience,by whom,where.

Example
