SEEDO applies both participatory and conventional methods of monitoring to ensure successful project implementation as well as tracking the progress. In participatory monitoring system, the beneficiaries provide their opinions and suggestions directly. Their opinions are recorded in writing and using visual materials like posters. Use of this tool enables the illiterate and semi-literate beneficiaries to give their opinion about the progress of the project/program. The opinion of the beneficiaries and the field staff automatically performs the triangulation of information. At the same time people’s perspectives can also be grasped over an issue. The exercise is carried out at a regular interval.

Conventional monitoring is usually carried out by gathering data using structured formats, by paying field visit and sharing the findings with the concerned staff and the beneficiaries. Based upon the project design the data collection instruments are developed, pre-tested and finally administered. Other data collection instruments/tools included; observation, interview with key informants, checklist etc.

Data received from the project sites are compiled, processed and analyzed. Senior staff members produced the monitoring reports and send to the concerned staff members for necessary action. On the spot feedback is also provided for instant action.
