Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation
Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation (PM&E) is a collaborative approach where community members actively involve in assessing the progress and outcomes of a project or program. Unlike traditional methods where only experts evaluate, PM&E values local knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. It helps ensure the project meets community needs, promotes transparency, and encourages shared learning. By engaging stakeholders throughout, PM&E fosters ownership, accountability, and adaptability, making interventions more effective and sustainable. Essentially, it empowers communities to be partners in measuring success and making improvements.
