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.
