Sobre el evento
Trustworthy evidence is vital in times of uncertainty. Process Monitoring assesses the quality and consistency of financial and M&E systems via spot checks, reviews, field visits, and interviews. This type of MERL activity can identify, for example, whether reported activities match on-site realities, or if gaps exist in documentation. With increasing reliance on rapidly-changing AI and digital systems to fill resource gaps, this session will show how triangulating results through Process Monitoring is essential to ensure data reliability, and strengthen evaluation credibility.
