Third Party Monitoring and External M&E Support for Somalia Country Programme

The main objective of the assignment was to help ensure that Somalia Country Programme results are achieved as planned. This advisory support purpose was two-fold:
  • Particip provided continuous systematic, structured and strategic management information based on the Somalia Country Program, including the Thematic Programmes and the Development Engagements (DE), as well as the Monitoring & Evaluation systems of the DE partners.
  • Particip increased the capacity of the Embassy’s DE partners with regards to Results Based Management, including M&E and risk management.
Other project objectives included:
  • Support the “whole of country programme” approach by identifying the need for, and facilitating the operation of, networks/groups drawn from across the programme and engagement partners to address specific development problems including those identified through M&E reports.
  • Monitor, over the life of the programme, the effectiveness of the design and management arrangements for the Country Programme, and develop and disseminate learning tools (papers, guidelines, toolkits etc.) to inform future country programme design in Somalia.
  • Provision of technical follow up on specific issues/problems identified through M&E reports, as requested by the programme committee and subject to resource availability; such as value for money audits; investigation and analysis of under-performance; mentoring of partner staff in M&E techniques.
  • Support to the refinement and revision of the results framework, in close association with programme partners, including assuring realistic and measurable indicators so that programme progress can be accurately documented at the outcome level. At the impact level, the M&E Support Team will support the development of the needed methodologies to ensure that the Danish contribution to the national level impact indicators is possible to assess.
