What are the factors to make: Monitoring, reviewing, and advising the project risk related activities?

Monitoring aims to identify progress towards results, precipitate decisions that would increase the likelihood of achieving results, enhance accountability and learning. All monitoring efforts should, at a minimum, address the following:

• Progress towards outcomes—This entails periodically analysing the extent to which intended outcomes have actually been achieved or are being achieved.
• Factors contributing to or impeding achievement of the outcomes—This necessitates monitoring the country context and the economic, sociological, political and other developments simultaneously taking place and is closely linked to risk management.
• Individual partner contributions to the outcomes through outputs—These outputs may be generated by programmes, projects, policy advice, advocacy and other activities. Their monitoring and evaluation entails analysing whether or not outputs are in the process of being delivered as planned and whether or not the outputs are contributing to the outcome.
• Partnership strategy—This requires the review of current partnership strategies and their functioning as well as formation of new partnerships as needed. This helps to ensure that partners who are concerned with an outcome have a common appreciation of problems and needs, and that they share a synchronized strategy.
• Lessons being learned and creation of knowledge products for wider sharing.
