Monitoring and Evaluation
Establishment of Data Base
a) Baseline survey: Baseline data of beneficiary households needed to be established at the beginning of project to provide a benchmark to assess Project impacts. To this end, a household survey using a questionnaire and the individual interviews will be conducted. Prior to the execution of the household survey, a master list of target villages will be developed for the sampling, and the required questionnaire and guidelines will be prepared by Project consultant. Questionnaire interviews of all households in the sample villages will be undertaken by a group of interviewers selected from among the community people and trained by the Project consultants. The consultants will supervise the field interviews, compilation of data and data processing. The consultants are responsible for statistical analysis of household survey also.
b) Collection of secondary data: In addition to the data from the household survey, PRA during the micro planning and GIS data outlined in the following sections, any available secondary data will be collected, organized and compiled in a format that is useful for the Project, particularly with regard to the monitoring and evaluation. Such data would include, but not limited to: i) census, ii) BPL census. iii) forestry statistics, iv) human development index, v) data on natural disasters, and vi) data on meteorology.
c) Developing GIS data base: In order that the Project can interpret its project areas, is able to plan appropriately and to scientifically evaluate the physical progress and impact, a proper GIS data base for the Project will be developed.

Establishment of Management Information System (MIS)
MIS implementation under OFSDP is proposed in two phases:
In the first phase (spread over 3 months), simple to use and quick to deploy MIS application at PMU/DMU level will be developed and deployed to compile and consolidate the data in a prescribed format. Data entry modules for collection and processing of socio-economic data from the baseline survey will be created in the first phase for use in the PMU. This database will form the basis for mid-term, and post- completion impact studies.
In the second phase (spread over 6 months), FMU level MIS will be initiated in due course. The FMU level MIS will be designed to store data and produce reports relating to the FMU level operations such as micro plan, project site descriptions, plantation history, harvest and disposal of produce, village level information, and accounting module for expenditure accounting under different budget headlines. The second phase on the MIS project possibly envisages the integration of GIS with MIS.

Progress Monitoring and Evaluation
Regular monthly monitoring by PMU: All FMUs and NGOs will prepare a monthly progress report in accordance with standardized formats. The report from FMU and NGOs will consist mainly of information on physical progress in all on-going components as well as the accounting (fund disbursement statement). All members of FMU will undergo a training session on report writing, monitoring and evaluation.
All DMUs will prepare their monthly progress report by consolidating the reports from the FMUs and NGOs, which will be verified by DMU staff members through field inspections and report review meetings. The contents of reports from FMUs and NGOs will be validated by the DMU Chief (DFO) through an appropriate procedure. The monthly progress report of the DMU will contain not only the compiled information from the FMU but also narrative descriptions of field activities, problem encountered, actions taken, lessons learned and the future plan.
PMU will prepare its Project monthly progress report by compiling DMU level progress reports and PMU will implement feedback actions based on the data compiled and information analyzed.
In addition to this quarterly and bi-annul report will be prepared to work out feed back actiosn and caparison of physical and financial target and achievement and to evolve suitable action plan. PMU will also produce annual reports.

Impact Assessment and Monitoring
Both physical and socio economic impact assessments will be under taken. These will include impacts on mitigation of soil erosion and seasonal water regime, impacts on the ecosystem by biodiversity intervention, Since the ultimate goal of the Project is to bring about a positive change in the livelihood of forest dependents, the baseline data will be collected and household surveys will be undertaken at the mid-term and towards the end of OFSDP to measure the socio-economic impact of project.

Project Completion Evaluation
In order to monitor and evaluate the progress of work and achievements, logical frameworks and operation and effect indicators has been developed. Verifiable indicators will be predetermined to measure the progress and achievements of overall goals, purpose and outputs of the Project. The specific target will be determined after the database establishment activities, and the logical framework should be reviewed and revised periodically.
