For effective Monitoring and Evaluation, you need to be very clear about what impact your project or program is attempting to achieve through its activities – and more to the point, what is actually achievable within the time frame!
Remember KRAs = What you have promised to deliver on in the time frame of your project/program – what changes in capacity and/or practice change with what proportion of which group leading to what level of impact or benefit?
The challenge is to be as specific as you can without putting your project or program in such a straight jacket that it becomes inflexible – KRAs can be revisited and renegotiated as a project or program proceeds!
To help in developing your KRAs, we have developed a fact sheet with a table that you can fill out as well as providing an example of what we mean.
