The sourcebook aims first and foremost to help strengthen Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) capacity at the national and sub-national levels, and to ensure a consistency of approach and methodology so that, at the global level, sufficient reliable and timely information can be accessed from the different countries and used to make cross-country comparisons and to calculate development indicators at the global level. The sourcebook is specifically targeted towards countries where conditions are less-than-ideal, particularly with respect to the availability of relevant information. The sourcebook also shows how a service delivery approach can be used to select indicators which can generate useful, easy-to-measure early outcome measures. It suggests that greater use be made of qualitative indicators, such as access, use and satisfaction. The sourcebook devotes considerable attention to the need for a strong statistical infrastructure and reviews the range of different statistical instruments available.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACTION PLANACTION PLANSADOPTION OF INFORMATIONAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL POLICIESAUDITSBASELINE SURVEYSBASICBENEFICIARIESBLUEPRINTBUDGET ALLOCATIONSCAPABILITIESCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPACITY-BUILDINGCENSUSESCITIZENSCOLLECTION OF DATACOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITY DEVELOPMENTCONCESSIONAL LENDINGCONNECTIVITYCOPYRIGHTCORRUPTIONCOUNTRY COMPARISONSCUSTOMCUSTOMSDATA COLLECTIONDAY-TO-DAY MANAGEMENTDEBT RELIEFDELIVERY OF GOODSDELIVERY SYSTEMDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT INTERVENTIONSDEVELOPMENT OUTCOMESDEVELOPMENT PLANNINGDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDISSEMINATIONE-MAILECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTELECTRONIC PUBLISHINGENABLING ENVIRONMENTEQUIPMENTEXPERIMENTAL DESIGNFIGHT AGAINST POVERTYFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMFINANCIAL REPORTSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFLEXIBILITYFOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONSFOOD SECURITYGDPGLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMGLOBAL POVERTYGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTSGOVERNMENT OFFICESGOVERNMENT SERVICEGPSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHARD COPIESHBSHEALTH CAREHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEAVILY INDEBTED POOR COUNTRIESHIPCHOUSEHOLD BUDGET SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSICTIMPACT EVALUATIONIMPACT INDICATORSINCOMEINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINNOVATIONINPUT INDICATORSINSPECTIONINSTALLATIONINSTITUTIONINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVENESSINTERVENTIONLEARNINGLEGAL STATUSLIVING CONDITIONSLIVING STANDARDSLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL CAPACITYLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESLSMSM&E ACTIVITIESM&E CAPACITYM&E REPORTINGM&E SYSTEMSMARKET ECONOMIESMARKET RESEARCHMATERIALMEDIAMENUMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMONITORING DATAMONITORSNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL LEVELSNATIONAL STRATEGIESNATIONAL STRATEGYNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNEW TECHNOLOGYNGONUMBER OF PEOPLEOUTCOME INDICATORSOUTPUT INDICATORSPARTICIPATORY PROCESSPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPERFORMANCE MONITORINGPM&EPOLICY ANALYSISPOLICY DEVELOPMENTPOLICY FORMULATIONPOLICY PROCESSESPOPULATION CENSUSPOPULATION GROUPSPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY ASSESSMENTSPOVERTY MONITORINGPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRACTITIONERSPROGRESSPROJECT MANAGEMENTPUBLIC ACTIONSPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SERVICESPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYQUALITY OF SERVICEREDUCING POVERTYREGISTRYRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESOURCE REQUIREMENTSRESOURCE USERESPECTRESULTRESULTSRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSERVICE PROVIDERSSET OF STANDARDSMALLHOLDERSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL POLICIESSOCIAL SERVICESSOFTWARE SYSTEMSSTANDARD FORMATSTANDARDIZATIONSUPERVISIONSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTARGETINGTARGETSTECHNICAL CAPACITYTECHNICAL EXPERTISETECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONSTECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTTECHNOLOGY TRANSFERTIME FRAMETRACKING SYSTEMTRACKING SYSTEMSTRAINING COURSESTRANSFER PAYMENTSTRANSPARENCYUSERUSER GROUPUSER GROUPSUSERSUSESWEBWEB SITESWEBSITESWELL-BEINGTracking Results in Agriculture and Rural Development in Less-Than-Ideal Conditions : A Sourcebook of Indicators for Monitoring and EvaluationGDPRD, FAO and World Bank10.1596/6200
