Minimum standards for Planning, narrative Monitoring, Evaluation (& baselines) and Reporting.

PMER is important because you want to:

1. P (Planning) – Plan and develop proper projects and adapt project planning in a proper way whenever required.
2. M (narrative Monitoring) - Know whether activities are executed properly, whether realized products function and are used properly, and whether progress is sufficient and in line with the expenditures.
3. E (Evaluate) – Know whether the results and effects of the projects are good enough.
4. R (Reporting) – Have documents for different stakeholders that cover the information they need and that are structured in such a way that they can easily digest and understand the information.

Therefore it is important to have proper standards for how to do PMER properly. These standards are described for the work of Connect International. We have defined them in such a way that they fit entirely to our PMER system while also being suitable to become generic PMER standards.
