Monitoring & Evaluation Plan Template
A practical template designed to support cities in preparing or improving a local monitoring and evaluation plan for sustainable urban mobility planning.
The document explains the basic concepts related to monitoring and evaluation, identifies the most common mistakes made when developing M&E systems, and shows how to use the template depending on a city’s level of advancement in the SUMP process.
Pathway Selector & indicator table
The publication includes a Pathway Selector, which helps users choose the most appropriate way of working with the document according to the specific situation of a given city, as well as an indicator table that helps organise objectives, indicators, baseline values, target values, data sources, responsibilities, and resources.
12 step-by-step sections
The main part of the document consists of 12 sections that guide the user step by step through the process of developing an M&E plan, from describing the context and strategic objectives, through assessing current monitoring practices and analysing existing indicators and data gaps, to selecting objectives and indicators, organising procedures, cooperating with stakeholders, setting a timeline, reporting, and evaluation.
Practical by design
A major strength of the document is its practical nature. The template not only helps structure the process of planning monitoring and evaluation, but also supports cities in defining roles and responsibilities, identifying data needs, planning the frequency of measurements, and linking monitoring results with decision-making processes and the updating of urban policies. As a result, it can serve both as a basis for developing a new M&E plan and as a tool for strengthening the monitoring component within an existing SUMP or another strategic document.
