Foreword

It's about Leadership Alternative development is about development, for sure. But it is first about "Alternative". Alternative means change. It is impossible to hope that people involved in illicit crop production willingly engage in an alternative venture, to be supported by their ignorance on market conditions, by their lack of food security, public health and often widespread illiteracy. That is why leadership plays a fundamental role in providing a cornerstone for rural commitment to alternative livelihoods. More often than not, leadership is about a strong group of village leaders, who wish to guide their people in pilot alternative income generating activities and have the technical know how to be credible and effective. And there training becomes the real engine of successful alternative development ventures. The Regional Centre for East Asia and the Pacific is glad to share our know-how and good practices in this field.

Preface

Monitoring and evaluation can be effective tools to enhance the quality of project planning and management. Monitoring helps project managers and staff to understand whether the projects are progressing on schedule and to ensure that project inputs, activities, outputs and external factors are proceeding as planned. Evaluation can be a tool to help planners and managers assess to what extent the projects have achieved the objectives set forth in the project documents. This manual intends to provide some basic information and practical guidelines on project monitoring and evaluation in order to enhance better understanding on project monitoring and evaluation. All modules in this manual were used for the regional training on Monitoring and Evaluation for Alternative Development Projects and have been revised and simplified for distribution to interested project planners, managers and field staff. It is hoped that the manual will serve as their reference to acquire better understanding on project monitoring and evaluation and to obtain some practical guideline on the design and implementation of project monitoring and evaluation. We also hope that the manual will enhance the capacity of the planners and managers to understand both qualitative and quantitative approaches to project evaluation and to be able to discuss with project evaluators on the needs and requirements for their project evaluation and to fully comprehend the results of the evaluation from both qualitative and quantitative methods. I would like to thank the team of resource persons from Chiang Mai University for their contributions to the regional training and the development of this manual.
