18. COMMON
•Projects do not providePITFALLS to persons
adequate training
responsible for M&E.
•Projects limit M&E training to the M&E staff – excluding
other management, staff members or implementing partners.
•Projects focus on technical skills training and ignore
important human skills.
•Projects focus narrowly on information gathering and ignore
other M&E features and processes, such as data
management and analysis.
•Projects offer a single training at the launch of the M&E
system and do not provide in-service training or training to
new hires.
•Projects do not monitor the implementation of the M&E
system and/or make adjustments in light of observed
17
shortcomings.
