By having worked in close collaboration with project team and operation clusters, ERF set up M&E systems to facilitate the input of project staff, partners and the measurement of activities. In doing so, it ensured that the M&E components such as data collection tools, monitoring tools, and data platforms are of the best quality possible. Through a well established analysis and reporting of data ERF ensured project results and findings were made available to donors and other stakeholders.
Depending on donor requirements, ERF also performed special studies that were conducted with external M&E professionals for internal evaluations or for impact evaluations. Knowledge management processes were also given a strong importance within the activities of M&E to track best practices.
