Monitoring, evaluation and learning framework design what the deliverable looks like
The structure of the deliverable for monitoring, evaluation and learning framework design, how it is produced and how you accept it, with a live specimen generated from the matching free tool’s worked example. Synthetic or permitted data only.

Quality check
- Gap: Indicator 3 is a percentage without a numerator and denominator.Define exactly what is counted on top and underneath.
- Gap: Indicator 3 has no data source.
- Check: Indicator 3 has no baseline.“Not yet measured” is an honest baseline; blank is not.
- Check: Indicator 3 has no target.
- Check: Indicator 3 uses a word that needs defining (“Improved”).Say what counts as improved, and how it is measured.
Reference sheet 1: Percentage of graduates in work six months after completion
Level and unit
Outcome indicator, measured as a percentage.
Calculation
- Numerator: Graduates in paid work or self-employment at six months
- Denominator: All graduates who completed the course
Baseline and target
- Baseline: Not yet measured
- Target: 60% by 2028
Data
- Source: Tracer survey
- Frequency: Annually
- Disaggregation: Sex, age group, district
Reference sheet 2: Number of young people completing training
Level and unit
Output indicator, measured as a number.
Baseline and target
- Baseline: 0
- Target: 1,200 by 2028
Data
- Source: Attendance registers
- Frequency: Quarterly
- Disaggregation: Sex, age group
Reference sheet 3: Improved employability skills among participants
Level and unit
Outcome indicator, measured as a percentage.
Calculation
- Numerator: NOT DEFINED
- Denominator: NOT DEFINED
Baseline and target
- Baseline: missing
- Target: missing
Data
- Source: missing
- Frequency: Annually
- Disaggregation: none stated
How it is produced, and accepted.
Each stage ends in something you review; acceptance is tested against criteria agreed at the start.
- 01
Mandate
Agree the programme, the donor requirements and the users of the framework.
Review pointSigned scope note: the decision, the units in scope and the timeline.
- 02
Diagnostic
Review documents and data; interview staff and partners.
Review pointDiagnostic instruments signed off.
- 03
Options
Draft the logic and indicator options, including what is feasible to measure.
Review pointOptions paper reviewed with leadership.
- 04
Validation
Validate in a workshop with staff and, where useful, the donor.
Review pointValidation workshop held and comments recorded.
- 05
Implementation
Hand over the framework, sheets and plan, and train the team to use them.
Review pointWritten acceptance and a handover of files and method.
How proof is labelled
- DemonstrationsDemonstrations use synthetic or permitted data.
- Documented experienceDocumented experience is attributed to the organisation that held the work.
- Measured resultsMeasured results are added only once they have been measured; none are shown yet.
