Monitoring and Evaluation Services
Monitoring and Evaluation by Global Surveys helps organizations independently monitor project performance, verify field implementation, assess risks, support accountability, and turn evidence into practical learning for better program decisions.
Monitoring and Evaluation for development, humanitarian, and institutional projects
Projects need more than activity reports. They need credible evidence on whether implementation is progressing, whether resources are being used effectively, whether beneficiaries are being reached, and whether risks are affecting performance.
Global Surveys provides Third-Party Monitoring (TPM), field verification, needs assessment, market assessment, distribution monitoring, and results-focused reporting for organizations working in humanitarian, development, institutional, and community-based programs.
Our work supports project teams, donors, NGOs, public institutions, and implementing partners with practical findings that can inform corrective actions, future project design, sector strategies, and broader strategic revisions.
For internationally recognized evaluation language, the OECD DAC evaluation criteria provide a useful reference for evaluating relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability.
Service objectives
- Independently monitor project activities and field implementation.
- Verify progress, outputs, risks, and beneficiary reach.
- Support accountability to donors, institutions, and affected communities.
- Generate evidence for learning, adaptation, and future project design.
- Provide clear reporting for management, partners, and stakeholders.
MEAL and third-party monitoring scope
The service scope can be tailored according to project sector, donor requirements, field access, risk level, implementation stage, and reporting needs.
Third-Party Monitoring
Independent monitoring of project activities, implementation progress, risks, outputs, and field-level performance.
Field Verification
Site visits, observation, evidence collection, stakeholder interviews, beneficiary checks, and implementation verification.
Needs Assessment
Livelihood, community, market, and sector-related assessments to support project planning and decision-making.
Cash & Voucher Monitoring
Monitoring of cash-based transfers, commodity vouchers, distribution processes, beneficiary access, and related risks.
Program Monitoring
Monitoring for school feeding, livelihood projects, general food distribution, rehabilitation, and community support activities.
Learning & Reporting
Analysis of findings, lessons learned, recommendations, and reporting to support adaptation and future program design.
Turning field evidence into better project decisions
Independent monitoring helps organizations see what is really happening in the field. It supports early risk detection, better resource use, stronger accountability, and more informed decisions during implementation and after project completion.
- Improves visibility over implementation progress and field realities.
- Supports donor confidence through independent verification.
- Helps identify operational, access, quality, and beneficiary-related risks.
- Provides evidence for corrective actions and adaptive management.
- Supports future project design, sector planning, and strategic learning.
