[if the project has a conceptual model, this is a good place to show it and give a very brief description]
[what were the key issues/decisions? who were the main participants in the planning?]
Details to consider::
• Type of information: good to have some explanation of the indicators. However, if there are any
indicators that might be difficult or confusing to incoming staff/partners later on in the project, it
might be useful to include a separate table or page for further explanation or definition. To help in
this effort, see supplemental indicator tables on the page just after the information matrix in this
draft outline.
• Methods of data gathering: if one says ‘records review’: what records/what reports, kept where,
and accessible with whose permission? Will the records review be done with a checklist? Will
they be reviewed for qualitative or quantitative data? What is meant by ‘survey’?
• Who to collect: does not specify who to do data processing/analysis/or write up; nor who will do
the editing and feedback.
• Frequency of reporting: Note that this matrix does not show who will be getting the reports. It only
shows reporting frequency, but not who the reports will go to…]
Questions: what will be the relevant indicators, what means of verification, who will be responsible.
Note that some of this is handled in the next matrix.

The table following the workplan matrix shows an example of a GANTT timetable for M&E activities in
a three year project.
[Include discussion of any critical factors affecting decisions about what is placed where in the
timetable]
