Does monitoring address the main criteria covered in the appraisal process?
Information collected and used for monitoring must address the main objectives of the grant scheme. This can be assisted by the structured design of appraisal forms/checklists and monitoring returns. Data required for monitoring should be set out clearly and in a form that facilitates periodic reporting to local and central office management. All monitoring reports and forms should be structured in such a way that ensures data is quantified and is as consistent as possible, and allows comparisons over time and against any preset standards.
