This Annex provides an example of the M&E matrix (see C.3, Table C-2) that was introduced in Section 2 and explained in Section 5.

To establish a good M&E system, you will need considerably more detail about how to gather and use information than can be summarised in the logframe matrix. Using the M&E matrix is one way of identifying and documenting this additional information.

It is important to recognise that an M&E matrix is only part of an overall M&E plan, as it only considers what is needed to monitor and evaluate the objective hierarchy. It provides detailed information about how the goal or particular components, outputs and activities will be monitored and evaluated. An M&E plan will include other events that make it possible to understand the project context, reflect and learn lessons.

Completing the M&E matrix requires detailed knowledge of the project and the project context. As the example in Table C-2 is hypothetical, it cannot include the level of specific details that would exist in a real project situation. Consequently, it is more general than a real matrix would be. The example aims to provide an overview of important aspects of the matrix, rather than present a fully detailed matrix. The example is based on the logframe matrix developed in Annex B.
