EVALUATION

Monitoring and evaluation are terms commonly used in all organisations.

At best they are used as a dynamic tool to improve performance in all areas and at their worst they are performed with little thought or enthusiasm and make no difference to performance.

There are several reasons to monitor and evaluate

• To check your progress in any activity
• To manage your activity and trigger actions
• To provide a guide to your performance to managers, partners or external funders
  
• To identify good and bad practice and thus improve

Monitoring and evaluation are not only required as good practice by most organisations but they form an integral part of most funding applications.

Marshland can offer comprehensive monitoring and evaluation support ranging from a one hour ideas session to a long term involvement or an outside evaluation report which can give your project more credence and help attract funding.

If you do not feel confident in developing robust monitoring and evaluation or cannot spare the time from a busy schedule we can help by carrying out these tasks while you concentrate on delivering your core activity.

Even an hour spent talking about your project to one of our consultants will  not only provide advice on suitable methods but practical advice on how to actually carry out the work.

Many external funding bids encourage building  external evaluation into the bid and will be happy to pay for this service as part of the grant.

All initial enquiries/consultations are free of charge without obligation .

Fees will be clearly laid out and agreed with our clients before any charges are made.
