Monitoring and Evaluation in VVOB Vietnam
VVOB Vietnam is currently implementing three programmes in cooperation with a variety of partner institutions in Vietnam (Education programme, Agricultural Extension programme and Career Guidance programme). A new programme is being developed for the period 2014-2019. Since the start of 2011 VVOB Headquarters instructed country programme teams to develop an M&E plan. VVOB Vietnam fine-tuned a generic M&E plan (or system or framework) for M&E of different intermediate results (and sub-results) in the LOG frames of the current programmes.
For VVOB Vietnam M&E provides information to report and to guide the programme, but additionally an important part of the programme is capacity building for M&E at partner institutions. In the first phase of the current programmes (2008-2010) VVOB Vietnam developed procedures to monitor and evaluate capacity building and use of training materials, in the second phase (2011-2013) these approaches are integrated into the existing M&E practices at partner institutions and the focus is on monitoring the capacity of the partner institutions to use M&E in decision making and planning.
One M&E adviser is facilitating this process and gives advice to different programme teams (VVOB staff as well as partner institutions) on M&E. To assist the M&E adviser up to the end of 2013, VVOB is currently looking for an M&E officer. Depending on the new programme and the performance of the officer, this officer could take over full responsibility for M&E under the new programme from 2014 onwards
