The Guidelines for Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting of Extension Projects provide a framework for the monitoring and evaluation of extension projects. These guidelines outline the necessary steps and procedures for the monitoring and evaluation of extension projects. The guidelines aim to ensure that extension projects are monitored and evaluated in a systematic and comprehensive manner, with clear objectives, indicators, and expected outcomes. They also provide guidance on the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders involved in the monitoring and evaluation process.
9.1 Assessment of the Execution of Approved Extension Project Activity/ies.
The assessment of the execution of approved extension project activities involves the evaluation of the implementation of approved extension projects. The assessment aims to determine whether the project activities were executed according to the approved project plan, budget, and timeline. The assessment also evaluates the quality of the project activities and identifies any issues or challenges encountered during implementation.
9.2 Submission of Project Report. The submission of project reports is a requirement for extension proponents to provide updates on the progress of their projects. Project reports typically include information on project accomplishments, challenges encountered, and plans for the next phase of the project. The submission of project reports is an important part of the monitoring and evaluation process, as it provides a means for stakeholders to track project progress and identify any issues that need to be addressed.
9.3 Re-Planning of Extension Activities of Expanded Projects for Phase 2 Implementation. The re-planning of extension activities of expanded projects for phase 2 implementation involves the revision and refinement of project plans based on feedback from the monitoring and evaluation process. The re-planning process aims to ensure that extension projects are aligned with the changing needs of stakeholders and that they continue to be relevant and impactful.
9.4 Submission of Project Terminal Report. The submission of project terminal reports is a requirement for extension proponents to provide a final report on the outcomes and impacts of their projects. The terminal report summarizes the accomplishments of the project, identifies any challenges encountered, and provides recommendations for future projects. The submission of terminal reports is an important part of the monitoring and evaluation process as it provides a means for stakeholders to assess the overall impact of extension projects.
9.5 In-House Review of Project. The in-house review of projects involves the evaluation of extension projects by internal stakeholders such as program administrators or faculty members. The in-house review aims to provide feedback on project design, implementation, and outcomes. The review also provides an opportunity for internal stakeholders to identify areas for improvement and make recommendations for future projects.
9.6 Dissemination of Extension Outputs and Outcomes. The dissemination of extension outputs and outcomes involves sharing information on project accomplishments with stakeholders such as program participants, funders, and community partners. The dissemination process aims to increase awareness of project impacts and promote the value of extension programs.
9.7 Submission of Project Outcome/Impact Study. The submission of project outcome/impact studies involves the evaluation of the outcomes and impacts of extension projects using quantitative or qualitative research methods. The submission process aims to provide evidence-based information on project impacts that can be used to inform future program development.
9.8 Paper Presentation and Publication of Impact Study. Presentation and publication of impact studies involve sharing research findings with external audiences such as academic or professional communities. The presentation or publication process aims to disseminate research findings widely and promote best practices in extension program development.
9.8 Composition of the Monitoring and Evaluation Committee. The composition of the monitoring and evaluation committee includes representatives from various stakeholder groups such as program administrators, faculty members, community partners, and program participants. The committee is responsible for overseeing the monitoring and evaluation process and providing feedback on project design, implementation, and outcomes.
9.9 Award and Recognition. Award and recognition programs aim to acknowledge outstanding contributions to extension program development or implementation. Awards may be given to individual proponents or teams who have demonstrated excellence in program design, delivery, or impact.
9.10 Extension Information and Dissemination. Extension information and dissemination involve sharing information about extension programs with stakeholders such as potential program participants, community partners, or funders. The dissemination process aims to increase awareness of extension programs and promote their value as a means for promoting lifelong learning and community engagement.
