The toolkit is a supplement to the UNFPA programming guidelines. It provides guidance and options for UNFPA Country Office staff to improve monitoring and evaluation activities in the context of results-based programme management. It is also useful for other programme managers at headquarters and national levels. Many of the approaches described in this toolkit can be used as well for programme1 strategy development. Part III of tool number 5 discusses the “ how” of programme evaluation, namely the data collection process, including determination of data collection methods, data analysis and interpretation. The content is based on a review of evaluation and other literature from bilateral and other development agencies such as such as Danida, Management Sciences for Health, Save the Children, UNFPA, UNICEF, USAID, and the W.V. Kellogg Foundation.
