Monitoring:

To monitor projects, ACE first works to assess whether the targets for planned activities and outputs are being met. Second, ACE utilizes the opportunity to learn from current results. If the project is off track, the project team can identify what is not working and decide to change strategy or direction. ACE then drives project teams to utilize lessons learned to improve current project implementation.

Evaluation:

ACE uses baseline, midline, and end-line evaluations to assess output, outcome and, if appropriate, impact level results of the project. ACE evaluations not only inform project teams and donors whether their projects have accomplished the intended goals, but also if projects can be replicated and upscaled and how projects may have contributed to the complex ecosystem beyond the confines of the project itself.
