Monitoring Overview and Guidance for Humanitarian Organisations

This study on monitoring methodology for humanitarian aid has produced three documents:

• Monitoring Overview and Guidance (this document).
• Monitoring Templates (a compilation of monitoring standards and indicators).
• Monitoring Tools.

The aim of these resources is to help humanitarian organisations to monitor the different aspects of their operations.

Discussion with a wide range of humanitarian agencies for this report show that there is considerable interest in improving the ways in which monitoring is carried out. These documents will be of interest to all those involved in the delivery of humanitarian aid, but are specifically focused on agency staff involved in the management and implementation of humanitarian aid programmes and the development and use of monitoring systems at country level and below.
