Monitoring involves the systematic collection of data on specified indicators to provide management with ongoing information about the progress and achievement of objectives of an intervention. Evaluation is defined as the systematic and objective assessment of an ongoing or completed project, program, or policy to determine its relevance, fulfillment of objectives, efficiency, effectiveness, impacts, and sustainability. The aim of evaluation is to provide credible and useful information to incorporate lessons learned into decision making.
Definition and Differences between Monitoring and Evaluation, need of evaluat...AaleenKttk
Monitoring is a systematic process of observing project activities to ensure objectives are met, while evaluation is the structured interpretation and assessment of impacts or results. The key differences are that monitoring is a continuous operational activity while evaluation is a periodic strategic activity, and monitoring observes progress while evaluation makes judgments about effectiveness and outcomes. Both tools are used to manage performance but monitoring focuses on short-term information collection and evaluation assesses long-term outcomes and impact.
Difference between monitoring and evaluationDoreen Ty
Monitoring involves tracking project performance and progress toward goals during implementation to ensure accountability. It answers whether things are being done right and allows for timely management decisions. Evaluation assesses efficiency, impact and relevance after completion to judge the overall merits and determine if the right things were done. Both aim to improve projects, but monitoring focuses on day-to-day management during implementation while evaluation provides longer-term perspective at critical points like midway or after completion.

The advantages of the logical framework are that it helps design comprehensive and feasible plans, provides a structure for monitoring and evaluation, and reduces project management time and effort.
Monitoring is the continuous collection of data and information on specified indicators to assess the implementation of a development intervention in relation to activity schedules and expenditure of allocated funds, and progress and achievements in relation to its intended outcome.
Evaluation is the periodic assessment of the design implementation, outcome, and impact of a development intervention. It should assess the relevance and achievement of the intended outcome, and implementation performance in terms of effectiveness and efficiency, and the nature, distribution, and sustainability of impact.
Project monitoring and evaluation involves collecting data on project processes, outputs, and outcomes to track progress and inform stakeholders. Monitoring is continuous and internal, while evaluation is periodic and can be internal or external. The key aspects of monitoring include tracking inputs, activities, the process, and outputs, while evaluation assesses outcomes, impacts, efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability. Both use qualitative and quantitative data and involve stakeholders. Participatory monitoring and evaluation engages local people and beneficiaries to better understand impacts and ensure the process is learning-focused and adaptive.
The document outlines the steps involved in project planning, including assessing the situation, identifying and prioritizing issues, designing the project, and developing implementation, monitoring and evaluation plans. It provides an example of planning an oral hygiene promotion project in a public primary school, and discusses commonly used tools like Gantt charts, logical framework analysis, and intervention mapping. Project planning is important as it helps select important problems and strategies, determine appropriate scope and quality, and identify resources to help implementation and evaluation.
Monitoring involves systematically collecting and analyzing data during project implementation to inform decision making, ensure activities are on track, and identify any needed corrections. Evaluation assesses projects after completion to determine relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and impact. Both processes provide information for accountability and learning, with monitoring focusing on operational performance and evaluation making judgments about overall achievement of objectives.

Introduction to international project managementprakashnachnani
This document provides an introduction to international project management. It defines what constitutes a project and lists key characteristics such as being temporary, having unique deliverables, and allowing for progressive elaboration. Projects are also purposeful, logical, structured, involve conflict and risk, and have limited resources. Typical project phases include initiation, definition, feasibility study, execution, and conclusion. Key project management activities involve planning, scheduling, and controlling. Common problems include poor planning, lack of leadership, unclear requirements, and missed deadlines. Project types can be manufacturing, construction, management, or research oriented.
The document discusses project management best practices for partnering with clients on Drupal projects. It addresses four key questions:
1) How PM involvement at different project phases impacts the project and organization. Early and ongoing PM involvement provides benefits like improved accountability, risk identification, and relationship building.
2) How to partner with clients to ensure project needs are met. This involves understanding business goals through documentation, meetings, establishing a shared vocabulary, and conducting discovery.
3) Ways to mitigate risk and maintain stakeholder relationships while declining work. It's important to say no when the risk is too high, such as projects that fall into the "software death march" pattern. Transparency about risks helps the relationship.

- Urbanization is defined as the process of populations moving from rural to urban areas, causing cities and towns to grow. It is influenced by economic, political, and social advantages of urban living.
- Urbanism refers to the way of life in cities, and the social and cultural consequences of dense, heterogeneous urban populations. It involves more competition, specialization, and impersonal relationships than rural areas.
- New Urbanism is an urban planning movement that promotes walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods to encourage healthier, more sustainable living. It aims to build a sense of community while adopting ecological practices.
The document discusses different approaches to rural development:
1. Past anti-poverty efforts in the Philippines from the 1960s to 1990s by successive presidents met with little success, as described by one observer.
2. A theory of change approach helps identify effective solutions to address the underlying causes of problems hindering progress, considering the UN's comparative advantages.
3. Key principles for developing a theory of change include developing it consultatively to reflect stakeholders' understanding, grounding it in evidence, and supporting continuous learning.
The document discusses stakeholder analysis, which involves identifying and assessing the interests, concerns, and influence of individuals or groups impacted by a project. It outlines the types of stakeholders, including internal/external and primary/secondary. Key steps in conducting stakeholder analysis are identified as: 1) identifying stakeholders, 2) prioritizing stakeholders, 3) understanding stakeholder needs/expectations, 4) developing an engagement plan, and 5) monitoring and adapting. Methods for stakeholder analysis like the power-interest grid are presented, along with examples of common pitfalls to avoid and ways to improve stakeholder analysis.
The document summarizes several key development issues and concerns in the Philippines, including poverty, overpopulation, unemployment, corruption, limited healthcare access, security threats, and issues within the education system. It notes that poverty remains a challenge with over 20% of the population living below the poverty line. Overpopulation strains resources and is driven by lack of education, poverty, and unemployment. Unemployment and underemployment lead to issues like debt and income inequality. Corruption is also a major problem, with the Philippines perceived as one of the most corrupt countries. Access to quality healthcare is limited especially in rural areas. Security threats include criminality, drugs, and terrorism. Within education, there are issues of limited access, inadequate funding
Rural development aims to improve economic and social conditions in rural communities. It involves increasing agricultural production, developing infrastructure like roads and healthcare, and raising incomes. Rural development faces challenges like low incomes, lack of opportunities, and remoteness from urban centers. It requires a multi-pronged approach including agricultural growth, job creation, education, and improving living standards. International organizations increasingly prioritize rural development and poverty reduction through strategies like sustainable livelihood programs.
The document discusses work ethics and how managers can instill strong work ethics in employees. It defines work ethics and explains their importance. The bulk of the document outlines 10 ways for managers to develop work ethics among staff, such as leading by example, recognizing good work, and establishing clear expectations. It also addresses the role of employees in upholding work ethics and key qualities of good work ethics.
Training and development refers to educating employees within a company to increase productivity, improve quality, lessen employee turnover, and decrease costs and errors. There are several types of training including supervisor training, organizational development training, and interpersonal skills development training. The training and development process consists of five overlapping processes: needs assessment, motivation, design, delivery, and evaluation. Effective training design involves defining objectives, outlining content, developing activities, preparing materials, and determining evaluation and follow-up. Models like ADDIE provide a framework for the design and implementation of training programs.
Social development aims to improve well-being for all citizens. The document discusses social development in the Philippines under the Duterte Administration from 2017-2022. Key programs implemented included Pantawid Pamilya, universal healthcare, an anti-terrorism act, and infrastructure development. Literacy rates increased while issues remained in areas like housing, the environment, and financial literacy. The new Philippine Development Plan for 2023-2028 envisions healthy, educated citizens living in livable communities.
This document discusses prospects and challenges for urban and metropolitan administration and governance. It begins by defining urban and metropolitan areas and outlining the importance of effective administration and governance in promoting economic growth, social justice, and improved quality of life. It then discusses significant prospects for urban areas in economic growth and quality of life, as well as challenges like rapid urbanization, inequality, and climate change. The document also covers topics like public-private partnerships, smart cities, digital governance, integrated metropolitan planning, and sustainable urban development strategies.
Planning and Budgeting helps organizations set targets and generate budgets by enabling different departments to collaborate using shared assumptions and tools. Effective planning requires assessing an organization's past approaches and addressing cultural issues to support current processes. Budgeting involves preparing, legislating, executing, and ensuring accountability for budgets through classification of expenditures and an organized structure. The budgeting process allows organizations to review past performance, forecast revenues, assign costs, and communicate budgets clearly.
The document discusses the Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS), which links employee performance to organizational goals. The SPMS has four stages: performance planning, monitoring, review/evaluation, and rewarding/development. It focuses on aligning individual goals with the organization's mission, vision, and strategic goals. The SPMS process aims to concretize this linkage and ensure organizational and individual effectiveness. Key elements include goals aligned with agency priorities, an outputs/outcomes orientation, team-based performance management, and user-friendly forms showing goal alignment. Government issuances like AO 25 and a Joint Circular provide rules on performance-based incentives. Performance is measured based on quality, efficiency, and timeliness.
This document discusses topics related to personal effectiveness, job enrichment, motivation, compensation policy, career development, and management. It defines personal effectiveness as dealing with success, goals, and related concepts. Key personal effectiveness skills include optimism, confidence, determination, reflection, problem-solving, persistence, stress management, emotional intelligence, habit building, organization, and time management. Job enrichment aims to make jobs more motivating by expanding tasks and skills. Career development involves defining goals and acquiring skills through self-assessment, awareness, goal-setting, training, and performance, while career management is a lifelong process of investing in one's future career goals.
The document discusses key aspects of human resource management including job analysis, job design, job evaluation, human resource planning, recruitment and selection, placement and utilization. It defines each concept and explains their importance. For job analysis, it outlines the steps and benefits. It also describes different job evaluation and design methods used by organizations. The recruitment and selection process is summarized in five steps. Placement and utilization focus on properly matching employees to roles and maximizing their productivity.
This document discusses workplace stress, its causes and effects, and strategies for managing it. It notes that some stress can motivate employees but too much stress leads to negative outcomes. It identifies 10 signs of stress during change, including increased absenteeism, difficulty concentrating, and hostility. The WHO recommends preventing stress through risk identification, developing action plans, and evaluation. Effective HR strategies include encouraging collaboration, taking breaks, deep breathing, and maintaining a calm mindset. Prioritizing mental health provides tools for managing challenges.
Coaching and mentoring involve teaching new skills, improving performance in specific work areas, and building soft skills. They establish goals and empower individuals to take responsibility for their actions. Both provide benefits such as increased job satisfaction, engagement, and productivity. Coaching focuses on skills and performance, while mentoring emphasizes career development and guidance from someone with experience. Both build trust, share knowledge, and help people develop self-awareness and confidence.
VUCA stands for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. It describes constant, unpredictable change that is now the norm in certain industries. The US Army first used VUCA after 9/11 to describe the unfamiliar security environment. In 2009, an author adapted VUCA for business to reflect turbulent forces of change affecting organizations. To manage in a VUCA environment, leaders need new skills like anticipating and adapting to change, strategic thinking, and considering broader contexts. They must also embrace uncertainty, develop resilience, foster innovation, strengthen decision-making, build relationships, and focus on continuous learning.
This document discusses concepts related to social responsibility, ethics, and management. It provides examples of companies like Starbucks, Lego, and San Miguel Corporation that demonstrate social responsibility through practices like sustainable sourcing and environmental initiatives. It also outlines classical and socio-economic views of a business's social responsibilities and discusses the importance of managerial ethics. Globalization is defined and its impacts on different levels are explained, along with both benefits and criticisms of the process of globalization.

For operations and career management, it discusses key aspects of operations management and importance of career management for both employees and companies. It also outlines eight career anchors that influence career choices. The document provides references used at the end.
Ethically Aligned Design (Version 2 - For Public Discussion)prb404
Autonomous and intelligent technical systems are specifically designed to reduce the necessity for
human intervention in our day-to-day lives. In so doing, these new systems are also raising concerns
about their impact on individuals and societies. Current discussions include advocacy for a positive
impact, such as optimization of processes and resource usage, more informed planning and decisions,
and recognition of useful patterns in big data. Discussions also include warnings about potential harm to
privacy, discrimination, loss of skills, adverse economic impacts, risks to security of critical infrastructure,
and possible negative long-term effects on societal well-being.
Because of their nature, the full benefit of these technologies will be attained only if they are aligned
with society’s defined values and ethical principles. Through this work we intend, therefore, to establish
frameworks to guide and inform dialogue and debate around the non-technical implications of these
technologies, in particular related to ethical aspects. We understand “ethical” to go beyond moral
constructs and include social fairness, environmental sustainability, and our desire for self-determination.
Our analyses and recommendations in Ethically Aligned Design address values and intentions as well
as implementations, both legal and technical. They are both aspirational, what we hope or wish should
happen, and practical, what we—the techno-scientific community and every group involved with and/or
affected by these technologies—could do for society to advance in positive directions. The analyses and
recommendations in EAD1e are offered as guidance for consideration by governments, businesses, and
the public at large in the advancement of technology for the benefit of humanity

The Vicente Ferrer Foundation USA is committed to combatting poverty and inequality in rural India. Our focus is to improve the lives of India’s most marginalized groups in order to contribute to a more just and equal society. We place particular emphasis on assisting the most vulnerable populations: children, women, and people with disabilities, to ensure that development in rural India leaves no one behind. Women in India are particularly affected by poverty because of societal discrimination.
The Vicente Ferrer Foundation USA uses a holistic approach to implement development programs. Through our local partners, Rural Development Trust, and others, we work with the most deprived communities in rural Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Together with our partners, we develop long-term solutions that empower communities and improve people’s individual living conditions, promoting social change.
Our unique “community-based approach” ensures sustainability, as communities become main actors in their own change. Communities identify common needs and solutions, and participate actively in their implementation. With the help of our donors, the Vicente Ferrer Foundation USA supports programs to ensure access to quality education, healthcare, housing and basic infrastructure, and to provide local communities with a sustainable livelihood.
In order to unlock the full potential of future generations, the empowerment of women and people with disabilities is particularly important. In community-based organizations, men and women are equally represented, which reinforces the role of women in their communities.

4. Understanding Project Terms
Project
• Project – is a temporary endeavor to create a unique product, ( a
rare and collectible variety of ceramic cups/mugs), service
(delivery service company), or information ( planning a new
DIY product)
• It is divided into several phases to improve management control
and provide links to the ongoing operations of the performing
organization
• Collectively the project phases are known as the project life cycle
A project is completed when its goals and objectives are accomplished. It is these goals
that drive the project, and all the planning and implementation efforts undertaken to achieve them.
Sometimes projects end when it is determined that the goals and objectives cannot be
accomplished or when the product or service of the project is no longer needed and the project is
cancelled.
5. It provides a shared vision for what the
project will accomplish – this common
understanding can bind the team together in
completing actions that satisfy the project’s
goals.
It gives clarity on the responsibilities of
members and other organizations in
contributing to the goals of the project.
It organizes the work of the project and
be used to prevent extraneous work from
crowding out legitimate project activities.
It can be a very powerful communication
mechanism, supplementing verbal
interactions. This is an important written
reference for the team, and can also be used
with other stakeholders.

13. Benefits of a Good Project Proposal
1) Drives innovation. A project proposal provides enough detail that
stakeholders can feel confident investing resources in it.
2) Helps projects stay focused. Businesses can refer to project proposals while
the project is being executed to ensure they stay focused and deliver what was
promised.
3) Anticipates and solves problems early. A project proposal exposes a
project's planning to a new audience. Discussing risks and challenges early can
help project teams solve problems before they become major issues.
4) Aids planning. A good project proposal helps businesses and their
stakeholders plan for the future. They can anticipate how to allocate finances,
time and other resources and predict how the project may impact their business
in the future.

The tone of voice and content of your project
proposal will differ based on the type of proposal
you’re sending.
When you know your project goals, you can write
your proposal accordingly.
15
Types of Project Proposals
16.
17. 17
Solicited project proposal:
This is sent as a response to a
request for proposal (RFP). Here,
you’ll need to adhere to the RFP
guidelines of the project owner
Unsolicited project proposal:
You can send project proposals
without having received a request
for a proposal
Informal project proposal:
This type of project proposal is
created when a client asks for an
informal proposal without an RFP
Renewal project proposal:
You can use a renewal project proposal
when you’re reaching out to past
customers. The advantage is that you can
highlight past positive results and future
benefits
Continuation project proposal:
A continuation project proposal is sent
to investors and stakeholders to
communicate project progress.
Supplemental project proposal:
This proposal is sent to investors to ask
for additional resources during the
project execution phase
20. 1. Write an Executive Summary
The executive summary serves as the introduction to your
project proposal.
Your executive summary should include:
•The problem your project plans to solve
•The solution your project provides for that problem
•The impact your project will have
This section should aim to catch your recipient's attention
and encourage them to read on.
The length of your executive summary will depend on your
project's complexity. Make your executive summary concise
to keep it engaging and convincing.
20
21. 21
Some questions to include are:
•What is the problem your project addresses?
•What is already known about this problem?
•Who has addressed this problem before/what
research is there?
•Why is past research insufficient at addressing this
problem?
In this section, you’ll go into the background of the project. Use references and
statistics to convince your reader that the problem you’re addressing is worthwhile.
2. Explain the Project
Background
22. 3. Present a Solution
The next logical step in proposal writing is to present a
solution. This section is your opportunity to outline your
project approach in greater detail.
Some items to include are:
•Your vision statement for the project
•Your project schedule, including important
milestones
•Project team roles and responsibilities
•A risk register showing how you’ll mitigate risk
•The project deliverables
•Reporting tools you’ll use throughout the project
22
23. 4. Define Project Deliverables and Goals
Defining your project deliverables is a crucial step in
writing your project proposal.
Stakeholders want to know what you’re going to produce
at the end of your project, whether that’s a product, a
program, an upgrade in technology, or something else.
When defining your deliverables, you should include:
•The end product or final objective of your project
•A project timeline for when deliverables will be
ready
•SMART goals that align with the deliverables
you’re producing

• Review process and look for areas of improvement
• Explain the whys of working from start to finish
• Sequential steps – linearly step by step of what should be executed
• How deep of a PM do you create?
• High Level – in depth
• Middle level – process map
Note: The conclusion of a project is marked by a review of both key deliverables and
project performance to date
Phase-end-review are called -phase exits, stage gates or kill points

27. 5. List What Resources Needed
In this section, you’ll include:
•Project budget: The project budget involves everything from the
supplies you’ll need to create a product to ad pricing and team salaries.
You should include any budget items you need to deliver the project
here.
•Breakdown of costs: This section should include research on why you
need specific resources for your project; that way, stakeholders can
understand what their buy-in is being used for. This breakdown can also
help you mitigate unexpected costs.
•Resource allocation plan: You should include an overview of your
resource allocation plan outlining where you plan to use the specific
resources you need. For example, if you determine you need PhP500,000
to complete the project, do you plan to allocate this money to salaries,
technology, materials, etc.
27
28. 6. State your Conclusion
Finally, wrap up your project proposal with a
persuasive and confident conclusion. Like the
executive summary, the conclusion should
briefly summarize the problem your project
addresses and your solution for solving that
problem.
You can emphasize the impact of your project
in the conclusion but keep this section
relevant, just like you would in a traditional
essay.

36. It is very important to know some steps that will ensure your project
proposal has all the right elements. If you want to impress your readers
and win their approval, your writing must shine.
Tips for Writing an
Effective Project
Proposal
37. Know your Audience/Write for your Audience
While writing your proposal, keep your
audience (i.e. the stakeholders) in
mind at all times.
Remember that the goal of the proposal is
to win your audience over, not just to
present your project details.
Keep your audience in mind and use terms,
tone and details that will resonate with
them.
37
38. Be Persuasive
• A project proposal aims to convince
its recipients to act, so being
persuasive is vital. Use persuasive
tools, including historical data, survey
results, market predictions,
testimonials and case studies to
encourage action.
38
39. Connect the Project to the Recipient
• A project may seem like a good
idea, but it may not be
approved or funded if your
recipient does not understand
why it matters to them. Make
the connection between your
recipient's goals and the
project clear to increase your
chance of success.
39
40. Keep it Simple
• A simple proposal is easy to read and
understand. Use easily understood
terms, simple sentences and an easy-
to-follow format to make your
proposal clear.
40
41. Follow Convention
• It might be tempting to be
creative with your proposal's
structure to help it stand out.
However, following tradition
reduces the chance of confusing
your reader and forgetting
essential information. If you are
given a set format, follow it
strictly.
41
42. Proofread and revise your proposal
• Read through your proposal to
make sure it is clear and free of
spelling and grammatical errors.
Presenting a clear and mistake-free
proposal helps you demonstrate
your professionalism, which can
help you increase your chance of
approval.
