Monitoring & Evaluation

Monitoring AND Evaluation

Sesta Development Services (SDS) plays a critical role in Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) to ensure that development projects are effectively designed, implemented, and achieve their intended impact. M&E is a core component of SDS’s strategy for driving improvements in project performance, accountability, and learning.

How SDS Delivers Monitoring & Evaluation

Establishing a Robust M&E Framework

SDS starts by designing a comprehensive M&E framework tailored to each project. This framework outlines key objectives, indicators, and tools used to measure progress and assess outcomes, while clearly defining timelines, roles, and responsibilities across each stage of the M&E cycle.

Theory of Change (ToC) & Results-Based Framework

Using a Theory of Change, SDS maps how activities credibly lead to outputs, outcomes, and long-term impact, surfacing the key assumptions and enabling conditions. This underpins a results-based framework for consistent planning, measurement, and learning.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

SDS defines clear KPIs to track processes and results aligned to project goals—for example, higher agricultural productivity, improved farmer incomes, or enhanced access to markets—enabling timely management decisions and accountability.

Evaluating Outcomes & Impact

Guided by the framework, SDS conducts systematic evaluations to understand short- and long-term effects of interventions. Evidence on outcomes and impact informs adaptive management, policy dialogue, and scale-up decisions.

Baseline, Midline & Endline Evaluations

SDS conducts baselines to set reference values at project start, midlines to check trajectory and course-correct during implementation, and endlines to assess overall achievements against targets and draw lessons for future programming.
