would like to discuss the link between monitoring - evaluation - learning.
Monitoring imeans long-term control of a system through observation and reporting, for instance the system of education of the country, which gives reports of the state of the system at regular intervals, let's say: Every two years a large educational report appears, which is accessible online (this is how it is in Germany) and provides information on whether benchmarks have been reached or not. Evaluation can refer to the qualitative rating of a lesson or a special training measure or the whole system. Of course, monitoring has aspects of evaluation. Learning and experience is always there.

they help to measure the effectiveness of programs to see whether they are on track and when changes may be needed.
Monitoring and evaluation can be used to demonstrate that program efforts have had a measurable impact on expected outcomes and have been implemented effectively. It is essential in helping managers, planners, implementers, policy makers and donors acquire the information and understanding they need to make informed decisions about program operations.
MEL are used together because implementing monitoring and evaluation processes can strengthen accountability and learning.

Monitoring, evaluation, and learning provide tools to help grant makers evaluate and improve programs that include multiple grantees pursuing similar objectives through different means or contexts.
Monitoring comprehensively means paying attention to project objectives, theories of change, implementation plans, and key performance indicators to illuminate the successes and challenges grantees face, whether collectively or individually.
Evaluating selectively means taking a deeper analytic look at a subset of projects, chosen for using innovative strategies, achieving desired outcomes, or operating in a diverse set of contexts.
Learning continuously means having relevant, timely information as grant initiatives unfold and implementation improvements are still possible.

Learning is a system with inputs (teaching and student factors), processes (act of learning) and outputs (learning outcomes). Systems such as a learning system need to be monitored over time for their effectiveness in producing the desired outcomes consistently. Components of the system are evaluated at varied points to gain insights into how well the components of teh system work (e.g. student assessment tasks) to produce the outputs/outcomes.
Hi,
Monitoring and evaluation in spacial development, is a governmental and non governmental process; that is widespread need in developing countries. It is specified as a UN and the World Bank program and we respect the program and use their guidelines.
