A tailor-made Monitoring and Evaluation framework forms one of the foremost components leading to the successful implementation of any project activity. Prior to suggesting tips for the implementation of Monitoring and evaluation in CSR activities, understanding the meaning of both monitoring and evaluation in the context of project framework is important.

Monitoring is a periodically recurring task that allows results, processes, and experiences to be documented and used as a basis to steer decision-making and learning. It is a progress checking mechanism created to see whether the project is on track and meeting the outputs set within the time limits as mentioned in the project design and implementation plan.

Evaluation of a CSR project revolves around how well or how badly has the project been implemented, to what extent it has achieved the results (outputs & outcomes), the challenges faced during the implementation and how they have or could have been mitigated. It also provides a base to see whether the same can be scaled up and if the model is replicable.

One of the most pertinent factors to be kept in mind is that monitoring happens during project implementation while evaluation takes place after the project has been implemented. Thus, even mid-term evaluations fall in the category of monitoring as it is focused on what type of hindrances are occurring which is holding back the successful implementation of the project and what type of course corrections needs to take place in order to put the CSR project implementation back on track.

Without tailored performance indicators and specific parameters that reflect the context and focus of the program, both monitoring and evaluation is likely to produce generic results and be void of relevant lessons learned and useful recommendations for future programs. Thus, proper creation and management of a CSR monitoring and evaluation framework is a critical element for the success of any developmental project.
