Monitoring & Evaluation

About this module

This module is the online counterpart to the technical training on Monitoring and Evaluation delivered under the Cambodia Water Security Improvement Project (CaWSIP). It is written for staff of MOWRAM, MAFF, the provincial departments (PDWRAM and PDAFF), River Basin Committees and Farmer Water User Communities who collect, check or report project data.

វគ្គសិក្សាតាមអ៊ីនធឺណិតនេះ គឺជាផ្នែកបំពេញបន្ថែមនៃវគ្គបណ្ដុះបណ្ដាលបច្ចេកទេស ស្ដីពីការត្រួតពិនិត្យ និងវាយតម្លៃ ក្រោមគម្រោងកែលម្អសន្តិសុខទឹកកម្ពុជា (CaWSIP)។ វាត្រូវបានរៀបចំសម្រាប់មន្ត្រីដែលប្រមូល ផ្ទៀងផ្ទាត់ និងរាយការណ៍ទិន្នន័យគម្រោង។

Work through it in order. Take the pre-test first — before reading the lessons — because it measures what you already know. Study the five lessons, then take the post-test. The difference between the two is what the training is measured on, so an honest pre-test is more useful than a high one.

សូមសិក្សាតាមលំដាប់។ សូមធ្វើ តេស្តមុន ជាមុនសិន មុនពេលអានមេរៀន ព្រោះវាវាស់វែងចំណេះដឹងដែលអ្នកមានស្រាប់។ បន្ទាប់មកសិក្សាមេរៀនទាំង៥ រួចធ្វើ តេស្តក្រោយ។

What you will be able to do

• Explain the difference between monitoring and evaluation, and what results-based management asks of you.
• Read a Theory of Change and place any piece of project work correctly in the results chain.
• Navigate the CaWSIP components and Results Framework, and say what the PDO-level indicators measure.
• Interpret an indicator's definition, unit, disaggregation and means of verification.
• Say who reports what, to whom, and on what cycle — from FWUC up to the World Bank.

1. 1 Pre-test តេស្តមុន ការបណ្ដុះបណ្ដាល 25 questions. Take this before reading anything else. Tick “Pre-test” at the top. 15–20 min
2. 2 Lesson 1 — M&E concepts and results-based management មេរៀនទី១៖ គោលគំនិត M&E និងការគ្រប់គ្រងផ្អែកលើលទ្ធផល What monitoring is, what evaluation is, and why the distinction changes how you work. 20 min
3. 3 Lesson 2 — Theory of Change and the results chain មេរៀនទី២៖ ទ្រឹស្ដីនៃការផ្លាស់ប្ដូរ និងខ្សែសង្វាក់លទ្ធផល Inputs to impact, and the assumptions the whole chain rests on. 20 min
4. 4 Lesson 3 — CaWSIP components and Results Framework មេរៀនទី៣៖ សមាសភាគ CaWSIP និងក្របខ័ណ្ឌលទ្ធផល The four components, the PDO-level indicators, baselines and targets. 25 min
5. 5 Lesson 4 — Indicators, data sources and verification មេរៀនទី៤៖ សូចនាករ ប្រភពទិន្នន័យ និងការផ្ទៀងផ្ទាត់ Units, disaggregation, means of verification, and what counts as evidence. 25 min
6. 6 Lesson 5 — Stakeholders, roles and data flow មេរៀនទី៥៖ ភាគីពាក់ព័ន្ធ តួនាទី និងលំហូរទិន្នន័យ Who does what, and the route a number travels from the field to the report. 20 min
7. 7 Post-test តេស្តក្រោយ ការបណ្ដុះបណ្ដាល The same 25 questions. Tick “Post-test” at the top, and write your name exactly as you did before. 15–20 min

Write your name identically in both sittings — that is what links your pre-test to your post-test when the results are analysed.

For facilitators

• Results dashboard → Sign-in required · pre/post gain per participant, per-question difficulty, CSV export

• Open the test with ?facilitator=1 on the end of its address to reveal the Check answers and Show answer key buttons, and a link to the dashboard — all hidden from participants.
• Every submission is stored individually: all 25 answers, the auto-score and the Part 6 confidence ratings. Selecting a name in the dashboard shows that person question by question, and which items they fixed between the two sittings.
• Question 15 is an open response worth 3 marks. Mark it by hand in the participant view; the CSV's total out of 42 fills in once you do.
• Participants are identified by the name they type, so ask them to write it identically in both sittings — that is what pairs their pre-test with their post-test.
• Every page prints cleanly if you need a paper version for a venue without devices.
