Monitoring and Evaulation

 

Under monitoring and evaluation, we did a small activity where our group went to the agriculture field to do monitoring and evaluation. I realized that in group we need cooperation and coordination because in our group one leaded and appointed certain roles like counting total number or tress, tree that bears fruits and some noting it down. However, I faced challenges of not being able to cross thick bushes and counting the trees. I looked around the trees that need weeding. From this activity, I have learned how to do monitoring and evaluation in the project and the importance of monitoring and evaluation. I also realized that monitoring and evaluation will also help to identify on-going challenges of the project and improvements to be made in the project. I am sure that this monitoring and evaluation will give the important data for strategic planning and implementation of project activities and also to allocate and reallocate resources in better ways.

Field Vist

 

Firstly, I will begin my reflection by thanking our tutor for initiating the field visit where I explored learning beyond the classroom. I realized that I learn more outside the classroom through observations and listening. I was able to get the deeper information of million fruit tree plantation and the challenges that they faced. I could relate those challenges because I have seen those desup back at my village also facing same challenges. I was able to understand more on project cycle management in relate with the million fruit tree plantation project.  

 

This field visit has helped our group in getting the required information to do our group assignment in making video presentation. However, our group has faced few challenges in not getting little information from them and had to ask another person. However, it was of more learning and I felt happy.
