With growing concern of donors and financial agencies on “how well” and “how effectively” the development funds have been utilized, the need to monitor and evaluate outputs of micro enterprise development programmes is unquestionable. Monitoring and Evaluation is the control mechanism of development programmes. Often implementing and planning agencies do not posses expertise on specific M&E approach and hence the tangible/intangible outputs are below standard, and developmental cost becomes too expensive.

Monitoring involves making observations and keeping records of progress of activities with periodic discussion/analysis to determine the implementation process, thereby enabling to take corrective action in a timely manner, whereas evaluation is a part of the total developmental process. Main purpose of monitoring and Evaluation is to control the quality and effectiveness of the project and determine howwell it can meet the performance objectives. This system contributes to the success of economic development programmes and it is essential to retain it as an integral part of the system.
