Impact Assessment of Eastern Nile Watershed Interventions for Scaling Up Watershed Management Result Based Monitoring and Evaluation System

The ultimate purpose of the watershed management M&E system is to provide stakeholders with a standard watershed management M&E system across the EN countries including planning and reporting tools. The system will also help to harmonize the planning, reporting, monitoring and evaluation approaches in the Eastern Nile countries. Once operational, the planning process, the reporting procedures, the M&E system and its indicator framework can be adapted to each watershed that are going to be implemented in these countries. Uniformity and consistency of monitoring of the watershed management projects across the EN countries is essential in order to provide a reliable and accurate source of information. All watershed management projects in each of the EN countries should be monitored and evaluated using similar criteria with slightly differences according to their specific arrangements and components. The M&E system is designed with the concept of the results based approach where the main focus is being in the delivery of results rather than focusing on the inputs, processes and activities.
