>A strong monitoring plan includes a handful of indicators, with the project assigning each a probability of success. These can be scored once a year, with any failures left in. It should take the project around half a day to complete and track things it wants to know anyway.
Just a note on MEL from the inside of an org, it usually takes more than half a day, and that’s just for one funder. It gets extremely time-consuming when you have multiple funders each negotiating their own indicator set. What about major donors coordinating on a shared indicator vocabulary?
