The CRS Asia M&E Guidance Series

This series provides guidance for designing and implementing a monitoring and
evaluation (M&E) system. This series supports and complements CRS’ global M&E
standards (CRS 2009). While the global standards represent the agency’s
commitment to quality M&E as a key component of program quality, this series
provides ‘how to’ guidance for operationalizing this commitment in practice. Each
topic in the series includes its own set of standards (page 3), which emphasize the
specific key messages and quality considerations relative to the topic. While the
global M&E standards are high level overarching commitments, the standards in this
series provide practical quality control considerations specific to individual
components of an M&E system.
