Why Is Monitoring and Evaluation Important?
Monitoring and evaluation is important because:

* It provides the only consolidated source of information showcasing project progress;
* It allows actors to learn from each other’s experiences, building on expertise and knowledge;
* It often generates (written) reports that contribute to transparency and accountability, and allows for lessons to be shared more easily;
* It reveals mistakes and offers paths for learning and improvements;
* It provides a basis for questioning and testing assumptions;
* It provides a means for agencies seeking to learn from their experiences and to incorporate them into policy and practice;
* It provides a way to assess the crucial link between implementers and beneficiaries on the ground and decision-makers;
* It adds to the retention and development of institutional memory;
* It provides a more robust basis for raising funds and influencing policy.
