What happens after your program's strategy has been designed? How do you know whether you've been successful in implementing the strategies you planned? Although monitoring and evaluation (M and E) systems are essential to measuring results, making and keeping these systems functional has been a longstanding development challenge. Making Monitoring and Evaluation Systems Work will not only help you build functional M and E systems, but also provide you with the tools and concepts for helping others build their systems.

In Trinidad, we used the 12-component model as a diagnostic framework to assess capacity building needs to improve our national health monitoring and evaluation system. We evaluated our own system against each of the 12 components to determine where we are today, and where we need to be to better be able to monitor and manage HIV/AIDS and other health issues in our country. We appreciate this simple, yet comprehensive model and plan to continue to use it in our M&E capacity building plans.

-Dr. Violet Duke , Government Official, Ministry of Health, Trinidad and Tobago

The training I undertook on the 12 components has come in very useful. I am developing a course on Results-based M&E in Ireland, and am also using the framework to develop M&E plans and frameworks for a number of organizations, including Barnardos, UCC, and the Ministry of Resources and Rural Development in Malta and the Hope Foundation in Calcutta. This is the most practical program I have ever been exposed to on monitoring and evaluation and I intend to incorporate its principles in my work going forward.

-Niamh Kenny, M&E Consultant, EXODEA Europe Consulting, Cork, Ireland

On its way toward development, it is imperative for Turkey to pull different systems together in a logical way: to make systems talk to each other. The 12 components provided different public sectors-from transport to agriculture, health to education with a way of commonly communicating about their M&E systems, understand linkages, and even plan joint activities. It enables someone who wants to make a career out of M&E to learn about one sectors 12-component M&E system and to apply this learning in another sector. The 12 components made me see how the pieces of our M&E system fit together.

-Mehmet Uzunkaya, Planning Specialist, Prime Ministry of Turkey, State Planning Organization
