What is monitoring?

Monitoring is continuous performance tracking against a scheduled timeframe throughout the project’s lifetime. Monitoring involves systematic and purposeful collection of onground information. It is a recurring process to assess project progress and understand delays, diversions, constraints, and effects (intended and unintended) on the stakeholders.

Monitoring helps maintain a project’s physical and financial health through real-time tracking and reporting. It is an integral part of any social development project and is crucial to ensure the successful implementation of the activities. Developing a customised monitoring framework is a prerequisite for project implementation and ensuring outcomes and impact.
