MONITORING,
EVALUATION AND
LEARNING APPROACH
UNODC has adopted a results-based management
approach to ensure effective delivery of technical
cooperation. Monitoring, Evaluation and
Learning (MEL) processes are being built into all aspects
of GLO.ACT Asia and the Middle East, allowing
the project team to:
1. Assess progress towards intended outcomes;
2. Ensure the sustainable and responsible use of resources
by elaborating assumptions underlying
our intervention;
3. Help ensure that programme activities and policy
advocacy are based on the best available
information;
4. Ensure that human rights and gender equality
perspectives are integrated across all activities;
5. Go beyond the immediate results of an activity
(such as changes in knowledge or development of
policy guidelines) to look at resulting actions (such
as use of training skills and implementation of guidelines);
6. Identify, document and respond to barriers to
progress, and areas where existing approaches
are not achieving the intended results;
7. Capture unintended (positive and negative) consequences,
and review safeguards put in place to
avoid negative impact on programme beneficiaries
and/or target audiences and to inform future
program design.
Building on the work undertaken under the first
phase of GLO.ACT, and the findings and recommendations
of the GLO.ACT independent in-depth
evaluation, GLO.ACT Asia and the Middle East has
readjusted its MEL system and tools in accordance
with the national and regional theories of changes.
