Monitoring is the systematic collection and analysis of information to enable the stakeholders to determine whether key activities are being carried out as planned and whether desired results are achieved or not. Monitoring provides feedback to the Management calling for corrective actions.
Monitoring, evaluation, and research collectively constitute a key instrument in ensuring the ongoing learning necessary for the improvement of development interventions. To measure and ensure the effectiveness of its organization’s work in long-established areas of focus, SRSO’s Monitoring, Evaluation, and Research Unit (MERU) has conducted numerous studies. These internal studies have greatly helped the SRSO staff in determining the level and types of efforts necessary to achieve optimum results in terms of the depth and breadth of SRSO’s activities. Our rigorous monitoring system provides continuous feedback to the management and other development partners. MER also assists the management in identifying relevant monitoring and evaluation indicators for inputs, processes, and outcomes. MER professionals design Log Frames, Survey forms, and other tools. This goes without saying that the MER is an important Section to ensure the quality of delivery of the main Program and to monitor the performance of professional staff.
