Monitoring
Accountability for our work is a core internal concern. Rather than viewing it as an externally imposed requirement we see it as playing an important role in strengthening program effectiveness and learning, as well as providing key data for the external evaluation. During 2010 systems will be set up to this end. Monitoring at the grantee/partner level needs to feed into monitoring of the strategic partnership, and finally into monitoring of Twaweza overall. Twaweza itself has already developed a system of annual plans and budgets which link to narrative and audited financial reports focused on results and basic indicators. Partner organizations will be supported to develop similar tools where necessary. At the partnership level, monitoring will build on the work of the individual partner organizations, but also draw on indicative survey sampling, the use of feedback forms and learning and reflection exercises. The monitoring of Twaweza overall will draw on these tools, and will take place as part of the independent external evaluation
