This ‘Handbook on Planning, Monitoring and Evaluating for Development Results’ is an updated edition of the 2002 edition of ‘Handbook on Monitoring and Evaluating for Results’. It seeks to address new directions in planning,monitoring and evaluation in the context of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) corporate strategic plan, the requirements of the UNDP evaluation policy approved by the Executive Board in 2006 and the United Nations Evaluation Group (UNEG) ‘Standards for Evaluation in the UN System’. The updated Handbook also incorporates information recommended by key users of the Handbook during various workshops held by UNDP units. The guiding framework of UNDP for planning,monitoring and evaluation is provided in the ‘Programme and Operations Policies and Procedures’ (POPP), the evaluation policy, and the UNEG ‘Standards for Evaluation in the UN System’.The POPP and evaluation policy aim to provide guidance to UNDP management and staff on key functions and mechanisms through which the results and principles enshrined in the overarching programmatic documents of UNDP, including the strategic plan, are to be achieved. They reflect the intentions of the Executive Board and also inform UNDP stakeholders of how UNDP conducts its work. These documents provide the prescriptive content on what needs to be done, by whom and by when. This Handbook complements this content by providing UNDP programme units with guidance on ‘how to’ and practical tools to strengthen resultsoriented planning, monitoring and evaluation in UNDP.
