2. Monitoring and evaluation (M&E)
Coproduction: participatory M&E (PM&E)
Who
What
Conventional
Participatory
External experts
Community members, facilitator
Predetermined indicators (mainly
People identify their own
cost and production outputs)
indicators of success
‘Scientific objectivity’, distanced
How
evaluators, procedures, delayed
access to results
When
After program or mid-term
Why
Accountability
Self-evaluation, methods adapted
to local culture, immediate sharing
More frequent, small-scale
evaluations
Empower local people to initiate,
control and take corrective action

3. Utrecht M&E system
Participatory and conventional methods/principles combined
= significant innovations: systematic and effective learning
while enhancing accountability
(Gaventa & Blauert 2000, Guijt 1999)
Utrecht M&E: hybrid system
Conventional methods:
Accountability
Utrecht
M&E system
Participatory methods:
Learning
6
3a. Utrecht M&E system:
communities of knowledge
Utrecht M&E system:
- M&E in ‘communities of knowledge’, based on social
presence, motivation to share knowledge and
collaboration
- Collective learning, mutual sensemaking
- Capturing know-how not easily articulated
- Key communities and peripheral communities
Qualitative insights from the communities of knowledge will
be combined with more quantitative insights. Moreover,
communities of knowledge can also facilitate the access to
quantitative data.

3b. Utrecht M&E system:
European dimension
European dimension in impact assessment ECoCs:
1. M&E in Europe: European input in the M&E system
2. M&E with Europe: European learning
3. M&E for Europe: Contributing to ‘Europe in the making’
(see next slide)

development of a cultural climate

People value the idea that countries influence
each others cultures
Citizenship approach

3. Conclusion and discussion
ECoC M&E can be complemented by:
- Strengthening the learning processes
- Strengthening the European dimension
Discussion:
- How to reconcile the tension between the different
approaches?
- How to compose the communities of knowledge in a
sustainable and useful way?
