Field-Based Monitoring and Evaluation (FBM&E)

We partner with organizations in conducting field-based monitoring and evaluation (FBM&E). Monitoring could be financial, process and impact. A project or programme evaluation on the other hand could be before commencing an intervention (Baseline), during a project or programme (Midline), in the end, or sometime after (Endline).

Blue Gate has the capacity and experience implementing formative and summative evaluations which both are described below;

A formative evaluation is normally carried out during a project or programme, often at the mid-point. The purpose of a formative evaluation is to help shape the future of the project or programme concerned and thereby improve performance. A formative evaluation tends to be more focused on learning and management than accountability.

By contrast, a summative evaluation is often carried out at the end of a project or programme. It is usually designed to assess what was achieved, and how. Summative evaluations are often implemented when a project or programme has ended or is about to end, and it is no longer possible to make changes to that project or programme. However, lessons may still be learned that could help shape future interventions.

Our team and organisation have extensive experience working with Pact West Africa, USAID, World Bank, Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) and many more.
