activities in the future;

resources used and the
results obtained;

initiative.
Monitoring is a routine procedure that begins when a project
or program is still in the planning stages. Results,
experiences procedures, and can be recorded through
monitoring and utilized to guide decision-making and the
learning process. Monitoring involves comparing results to
the plans. Evaluation is done using the information gathered
via monitoring.
