Monitoring & Evaluation Service
Measure What Matters. Learn What Works. Improve What Doesn’t.
Organisations invest significant resources in programmes, projects, and initiatives—yet many cannot demonstrate whether those investments are delivering results. Without effective monitoring and evaluation, organisations operate in the dark, unable to identify what is working, what is failing, and where to focus resources. M&E also helps to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of organisations by giving them a means to learn from their past and current work. At Qeeva Advisory, we provide monitoring and evaluation services that help you measure what matters, learn what works, and improve what doesn’t.

Why Nigerian Organisations Need Monitoring & Evaluation
Monitoring and evaluation is essential for accountability, learning, and improvement. Yet many Nigerian organisations lack robust M&E systems. Here are the most critical gaps we help you address.
Inability to Demonstrate Results – Donors, investors, boards, and regulators increasingly require evidence that programmes and projects are delivering results. Without M&E, organisations cannot demonstrate impact or justify continued funding.
Weak Accountability Mechanisms – Without M&E, organisations cannot hold themselves or their implementing partners accountable for results. Resources may be wasted without detection.
Limited Learning and Improvement – M&E generates insights that inform improvement. Without M&E, organisations repeat mistakes and miss opportunities to improve.
Poor Programme Design – Without baseline data and theory of change, programmes are designed without clear understanding of needs, assumptions, or expected results.
Inadequate Data Systems – Many organisations lack systems for collecting, managing, and analysing data. Data quality is poor, and reporting is delayed.
Donor and Grant Compliance – Donors require M&E as a condition of funding. Without robust M&E, organisations risk losing funding or facing compliance issues.
Resource Allocation Decisions – Without evidence of what works, organisations cannot allocate resources effectively.
Strategic Planning Gaps – M&E provides evidence that informs strategic planning. Without M&E, strategic plans are based on assumptions rather than evidence.
Regulatory and Compliance Requirements – Increasingly, regulators require evidence of programme effectiveness and value for money.
Impact Measurement Challenges – Measuring impact—not just outputs—requires sophisticated M&E approaches. Many organisations measure activity rather than results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is monitoring and evaluation?
Monitoring is the ongoing process of collecting and analysing data to track progress. Evaluation is the periodic assessment of programme design, implementation, and results. Together, M&E provides evidence for accountability, learning, and improvement.
2. Why is M&E important?
M&E helps organisations demonstrate results, ensure accountability, learn from experience, improve programmes, and make informed decisions. M&E also helps to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of organisations by giving them a means to learn from their past and current work.
3. What is a theory of change?
A theory of change articulates how and why change is expected to happen. It maps the causal pathway from activities to outputs, outcomes, and impact, and identifies assumptions and risks.
4. What is a logical framework?
A logical framework (LogFrame) is a planning and management tool that summarises programme objectives, outputs, activities, and indicators. It provides a structured approach to programme design and M&E.
5. What are SMART indicators?
SMART indicators are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. They provide clear, measurable definitions of what will be measured and when.
6. What is baseline data?
Baseline data is collected before programme implementation to establish the starting point against which progress and results will be measured.
7. What is impact evaluation?
Impact evaluation assesses changes in outcomes that can be attributed to a programme. It uses experimental, quasi-experimental, or non-experimental designs to establish counterfactuals.
8. What is the difference between outputs, outcomes, and impact?
Outputs are the products, services, or deliverables produced by a programme. Outcomes are the changes in behaviour, knowledge, or conditions that result from outputs. Impact is the long-term, sustainable change that results from outcomes.
9. What is third-party monitoring?
Third-party monitoring is independent monitoring conducted by an external organisation. It provides objective verification of progress and results.
