Monitoring and evaluation
Sunderland CLLD programme needs to understand the impact the activities it is funding are having on their target individuals, enterprises, organisations and communities. It also needs to understand what works in different circumstances and what approaches or activities have not generated their expected or intended impacts. The CLLD approach provides partners with the opportunity to deliver new and innovative ways to address needs and issues within local communities. In this context it is essential that the monitoring and evaluation process identifies examples of good practice and learning that can help to inform and shape future approaches to social and economic development at a local level.
Monitoring and evaluation ask and answer very different kinds of questions - and therefore need different methodologies to generate the answers to those questions. Monitoring and evaluation are the tools that will help Sunderland CLLD manage performance on the programme and project activities. Monitoring is the continuous collection and analysis of information about a project or programme, undertaken while the project/programme is ongoing. Evaluation is the periodic, retrospective assessment of an organisation, project or programme. The Sunderland CLLD programme has appointed external independent evaluators to undertake this role.
The downloads below provide delivery partners with the guidance, forms, and personal assessment tools to fulfil the project monitoring requirements of the Sunderland CLLD programme:
