Outline
2
Why monitoring?
Monitoring differs from ‘evaluation’ in that it:
› Has an internal focus
› Provides ongoing information
About inputs and outputs as well as outcomes
› Is a local information system designed, managed and used by CBR managers and stakeholders
› Enables managers and staff to identify and check for progress, changes or problems (person or program)
Leading to possible program adjustments
3
Why a menu and guidelines?
Monitoring should be:
› In the hands of program managers and stakeholders
› Able to be adapted to local conditions
› Based on best practice and established knowledge
Promoting standards but allowing choice from a ‘menu’ of items
› Empowering
› Tools with guidelines, not a formulaic recipe book
Similar to the CBR guidelines!

Possible uses of the monitoring menu in near future
Lao PDR
› Designing information collection at village level, or database (central)
› Progress in the village/community – evaluating program
› CBR worker performance and development
› Monitoring service use and progress for people with disabilities
› Identifying and monitoring the influence of the environment on participation
› Empowering
Community role in creating empowering environment - Monitoring: Awareness – acceptance, and then involvement
› Enhance knowledge and skills of the personnel in early intervention area with available resources (e.g. as a planning and awareness raising checklist)
