Monitoring, Evaluation and Research (MER)

Monitoring is the systematic collection and analysis of information to enable the stakeholders determine whether key activities are being carried out as planned and desired results achieved or not. Monitoring provides feed back to the Management calling for corrective actions.

Monitoring, evaluation and research collectively constitute a key instrument in ensuring the ongoing learning necessary for the improvement of development interventions. In order to measure and ensure the effectiveness of its organisation’s work in long-established areas of focus, SRSO’s Monitoring, Evaluation and Research Unit (MERU) has conducted numerous studies. These internal studies have greatly helped the SRSO staff in determining the level and types of efforts necessary in achieving optimum results in terms of the depth and breadth of SRSO’s activities. Our rigorous monitoring system provides continuous feedback to the management and to other development partners.
