Monitoring and Evaluation
JET was one of the first South African organisations to undertake evaluations – specifically evaluations of education programmes – and remains a leader in this field today.
We believe in tailoring solutions to clients’ needs and emphasise results-orientated utilisation-focused M&E which contributes to improved education outcomes.
We provide internal and external monitoring and evaluation services to JET and other clients which include government, non-governmental organisations, donors, foundations, corporates and multi-lateral institutions.
We offer a wide range of M&E services including:
- Facilitation of theory of change/programme theory workshops and development/documentation of theory of change/programme theory;
- Development of M&E frameworks (including logic models, indicators, data collection, analysis and reporting plans, evaluation questions and learning agendas) and systems (i.e. for organisations, which include an organisational review);
- Designing and conducting evaluations:
- Formative evaluations designed to inform/improve implementation.
- Process evaluations.
- Outcome evaluations.
- Impact assessments.
- Cost-effectiveness evaluations.
