Definitions

• Monitoring can be defined as A continuing
  function that uses systematic collection of data
  on specified indicators to provide management and
  the main stakeholders of an ongoing development
  intervention with indications of the extent of
  progress and achievement of objectives and
  progress in the use of allocated funds. Thus
  monitoring embodies the regular tracking of
  inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes and impacts
  of development activities at the project,
  program, sector and national levels. This
  includes the monitoring of a countrys progress
  against the millennium development goals (MDGs),
  or other national measures of development
  success.Evaluation can be defined as the
  process of determining the worth or significance
  of a development activity, policy or program ..
  to determine the relevance of objectives, the
  efficacy of design and implementation, the
  efficiency or resource use, and the
  sustainability of results. An evaluation should
  (enable) the incorporation of lessons learned
  into the decision-making process of both partner
  and donor
