Dear Isha Miranda

Thanks for the good contribution.

However, my interest is to know how to measure the impact or effectiveness of M&E outcomes. In other words, how to measure the influence that M&E evidence or outcomes have generated. How do we do that?

I believe, we should also be able to assess whether M&E outcomes are meeting their intended purposes such as to what extend do M&E outcomes influence: (i) decision and policy making, (ii) redirecting policy or project or program implementation, (iii) influencing termination of policy or project or program implementation that is not meeting its intended outcomes, (iv) influencing planning, budgeting etc.

So that M&E outcomes can be seen to have impact or not.
