Project Monitoring and Evaluation in Agriculture

Abstract

Because of the need to monitor the implementation of agricultural projects and to evaluate their achievements, these activities are now a routine part of project appraisal. This book details the concepts of monitoring and evaluation of agricultural and rural development projects. In the early 1980s, several international agricultural development agencies recognized the problems in formulating effective agricultural monitoring and evaluation systems. This book reflects the progress that has been made in developing effective systems and the consensus regarding concepts and definitions for those systems. Examples of actual monitoring and evaluation problems are interspersed in the text to illustrate significant points. This book does not deal with monitoring and evaluation of national programs and policies. Evaluating the effectiveness of national agrarian reform policy represents a different issue and is not covered. Those in the developing world responsible for the design and implementation of monitoring and evaluation systems are the primary intended audience.
