Captures and tracks a program's:

<!--T:6-->

:* {{<tvar name="inputs">Glossary|inputs</tvar>|inputs}} — in terms of time and tangible resources

:* {{<tvar name="outputs">Glossary|outputs</tvar>|outputs}} — in terms of activities, participation, or direct products

<!--T:7-->

Monitoring is helpful as a method of accountability, both within one's team or with external partners to make sure a program will meet target benchmarks on the way to the planned outcomes.

The Wikimedia chapter decided to move forward with their Wiki Loves Monuments with a theme of small and rural towns during the month of September. They realized that they needed to know —while the program was taking place— whether they would meet their set targets by the end of the month.

*Tracks and describes programming inputs and delivery of program activities

'''Monitoring''' is typically focused on the progress of both the preparation and execution of one's program. For example, how much volunteer effort was going into planning the event? Did they reach the number of volunteers we needed? Are the travels to small towns productive? What was the result of these activities in terms of participation or photo uploads at the beginning of September? Mid-september? End of September? Did they get the 20 participants they wanted?

*Tracks and describes outputs (i.e., event counts, participant counts)

<!--T:11-->

The chapter prepares a Monitoring report with all this information to present at their weekly meeting to discuss their progress towards their goals.

{{divbox|green| Evaluation in Action: Monitoring | <br>You are well on your way to start Wiki Loves Monuments with a theme of small and rural towns during the month of September. You realize that you would like to know, while the program is taking place, whether you will meet your set targets by the end of the month. <br><br> '''Monitoring''' is typically focused on the progress of both the preparation and execution of your program. For example, how much volunteer effort is going into planning the event? What kind of activities are getting done? Are the travels to small towns productive? What is the result of these activities in terms of participation or photo uploads at the beginning of September? Mid-september? End of September? Will you achieve a high proportion of images used in Wikipedia pages one month after the event? Two months? Three? <br><br> Monitoring is often used as a method of accountability, both within your team or with any partners you may have.}}
