Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation System Assessment Tool

October 2013 — The Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) System Assessment Tool (SAT) is a generic tool developed as a diagnostic exercise for programs and projects to critically examine their M&E systems, identify areas performing well and critical gaps, and develop a quality improvement plan to maintain strengths and overcome weaknesses in their M&E system. These guidelines provide the framework and operational guidance for the use of the SAT to improve the quality and effectiveness of a program’s or project’s M&E system. The tool is a facilitated self-assessment, using a standards based checklist.
