Toolkit: Tracking Progress

A British toolkit from Renewal.net that has been designed to assist organisations in tracking the progress of a community renewal project.

Renewal partnerships need to know whether and how far they are progressing towards achieving outcomes and meeting objectives. Tracking progress involves both short-term monitoring of activities and expenditure, and longer term evaluation of impact and outcomes. It is important that partnerships commit themselves to:

• Sound monitoring systems.
• Processes to enable reporting and monitoring of information to management.
• Identifying and explaining any departures from original plans.

When tracking medium and longer term movement towards sustainable impact, partnerships need to:

• Receive and approve an evaluation plan.
• Recognise the linkages between local and national evaluations.
• Consider the case for commissioning specific local evaluation studies.

The Progress Tracking Toolkit has two main components:

• Establish monitoring arrangements 
• Evaluate a project
