c.       deliverables compliance to contractual agreements

2.       Effectiveness

a.       Is the project purpose specific enough?
b.      Did (or does) the achievement result from outputs?
c.       Is there any influence of important assumptions on the attainment of the project purpose?

3.       Efficiency

a.       Was (or is) the cost of inputs justified by the degree of achievement of outputs?
b.      Productivity (Measuring progress against defined milestones)
c.       Cost benefit

4.       Impact

a.       Has the overall goal been achieved (or is it going to be achieved)?
b.      Is there any influence of important assumptions on attainment of the overall goal?
c.       Is there any influence on policies?
d.      Is there any specific impact observed, either positive or negative, due to the differences of gender, race, and social class?
e.      What are unexpected factors that produced positive and negative influence?

5.       Sustainability

a.       Are the expected effects described in both the project purpose and the overall goal going to be sustained after the termination of assistance?
b.      Would a negative influence on the social and cultural aspects, if any, become obstacles in carrying out activities?
c.       Are there any negative influences on sustainability because of the lack of consideration to women, the poor, and the socially vulnerable?
d.      Would a negative influence on the environment inhibit carrying out activities?


MONITORING 

At ULB, monitoring will be more frequent at regular intervals, systematic & ongoing,  Measuring progress against defined milestones,  targets,  deliverables compliance to contractual agreements and budgets.
Handling risks and deviations will also form a critical component of the process.
State shall standardize reporting formats and determine the frequency of reporting. It shall help the
ULBs in overall implementation of monitoring process, collect data at regular intervals, perform
analysis & extend necessary handholding, guidance and support to ULBs as and when required. It
shall report the overall status to MoUD at regular interval.
MoUD shall collect data from the state at regular intervals, perform analysis and take policy level
decisions as and when required. It will also extend necessary guidance and support to the ULBs &
State as and when required
 
Evaluation

After Go-Live of centralized solution, state needs to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, quality and
availability/ accessibility of services being rendered against the Service Level Benchmark for
services in Municipalities. Analysis will be performed to
1.       Develop accurate and realistic plans for achieving the next level of targets based can be determined in advance
2.       Any strategic or policy level interventions can be made as and when required
3.       Report to MoUD
Based on the reports and MIS obtained from State, MoUD shall evaluate service levels and other outcomes achieved by state/ULBs against targets and analyse
1.       Relative position of ULBs against one another and against benchmark level
2.       Identify trends/ patterns across mission cities
3.       Make policy level interventions, if required.
