Project Monitoring Checklist

The following monitoring checklist is a simple tool to be used in monitoring visits by Australian Mercy personnel to in-country projects. Ideally, it should be completed by the Australian Mercy officer and the project director/manager as a joint exercise.

It is emphasised that this checklist is an aid only. The full report should comment on those criteria for which there is insufficient space in the checklist form.

This checklist will also assist in:

The development of relationships between project stakeholders

The measurement of progress towards project objectives

The development of recommendations for project improvement

Financial accountability

Project reporting to donors

The preparation of public promotion of the project.
