Monitoring & Evaluation
We undertake CSR Monitoring and Evaluation of development/CSR projects on behalf of Corporate and Funding agencies. Concurrent Monitoring & Evaluation helps in effective, accountable and sustainable implementation of development projects.
In most of the cases the projects are in far flung locations in backward or remote districts/provinces which seriously limits regular supervision from the International Development Agencies perspective. We help the agencies have periodic reports and knowledge of the ground level development thus taking corrective measures if any in time.
Monitoring & Evaluation of CSR activities helps corporations in learning from past experiences, improving delivery system of CSR strategy activities they undertake, systematic planning and optimizing resource allocation and measurement of results as a part of accountability to the key stakeholders. However well a CSR programme or project has been conceived and planned, if the implementation is not proper, it will result in inefficient and wasteful loss of resources. A number of CSR programmes and projects have been undertaken in various sectors particularly in agriculture, rural development, health and family welfare, education, women and child development, drinking water and other related poverty alleviation programmes.
Review of these projects suggests that monitoring & evaluation with appropriate mid course corrective measures are central to achieving project goals. In the light of the above, Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is increasingly recognized as an indispensable tool. There is a wide felt need to improve the performance of CSR projects. M&E provides a basis for accountability in the use of resources and is an integral and important part of the CSR project cycle. A CSR project’s operation, performance, and impacts are the aspects of concern in monitoring & evaluation with a view to keep track on the technical and economic ‘efficiency’ of the project. The monitoring and evaluation cycle helps identify the shortfalls, deviations and problems and causes for the same so as take appropriate remedial action.
