Sequence

1. Make a presentation on the different forms of monitoring, its objectives, and the formulation and use of indicators and Means of Verification, as described in Sections 11.1-11.3. (Try not to take more than 15 minutes for this presentation.)

2. Introduce the participants to the different formats of the Logframe used for monitoring, reporting and long-term evaluations, as set out in Section 11.4.

3. Divide the participants into five teams, each representing one of the ministries whose policies are summarised in Chapter 9, and ask them to translate the key policy points of their ministry into specific objectives.

4. Using their objectives, ask each team to complete a Logframe for gender-oriented policy monitoring, following the format laid out in Table 11.1.

5. Invite each team to present its chart to the whole group.

6. In the final 15 minutes of the session, summarise the MGLSD’s monitoring system, as presented in Sections 11.5 - 11.7, and, if there is time, conduct a brief brainstorm on the Discussion Points at the end of the chapter.
