WHAT DO WE MEAN BY PARTNERSHIP?
TO BE ANSWERED
What is the role of grassroots communities in M&E for the SDGs?
What practices can be put into place to support the needs for data and information at the grassroots level?
How and where can capacity be built to support data-driven decision-making?
How can we know if the partnership between an organization and the community is effective?
Putting the ‘Participatory’ in PM&E
Different Styles of M&E • Traditional M&E: top-down accountability &
data
• Democratic M&E: Community is a
stakeholder in flow of information
• Participatory M&E: changing accountability
structures & building capacity
Two main categories Community as main stakeholder
Community as part of M&E team
