Keeping track of progress
It is important to keep track of the progress that you are making with your plan, so that you can assess whether you are achieving your goals and objectives and heading in the right direction. This way, you can celebrate your successes and review you plans to accommodate changing circumstances.
It is possible to monitor and evaluate your progress at two levels. At one level, you can track the outputs of your work programme, using an auditing process. Have you done the things that you said you would do in the work programme? Were you pleased with the way that they turned out? Did they provide the results that you expected? Did you meet your budget? It is useful to keep track of achievements in this way so that you can show immediate progress to iwi and hapū members, and to possible sponsors.
At the second level, you can track the outcomes of your overall objectives. Are you getting closer to the goals and objectives that you set for the iwi and hapū? How can you measure your progress towards those goals and objectives?
Monitoring and evaluation is usually left out of the initial planning because people are focused on getting things done. However, it is important to establish your monitoring systems from the outset so that you can measure your progress consistently.
