    Relationship of SiA Programmes

    Sustainable Development generally needs balancing of environmental, social and economic issues.

    Although all programmes are independent, sometimes they contribute to the effectiveness of each other.

    SiA Programmes Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning

    Relevancy

    SiA considers the appropriateness of Programme/project objectives to the problems that it was supposed to address and to the physical and policy environment within which it operated.

    Before implementing programme/project and during the implementation, SiA ensures that all activities are relevant to the context or area at which a specific project is intended to be implemented.

    Efficiency

    SiA measures how productively means (inputs) such as money, time, equipment, personnel were used in the creation of results (outputs), and the quality of the results achieved.

    During the implementation of programmes, SiA always avoids wasting materials, energy, efforts, money, and time in activities. SiA ensures activities are done successfully, and without waste.

    Effectiveness

    SiA Compare results and objectives. That is the contribution made by the programme’s/project’s results to the achievement of the Programme/project purpose.

    SiA ensures the effectiveness of programmes/projects by always tracking plans and objectives versus the actual schedule, scope, quality, costs, and performance of all project activities.

    Sustainability

    SiA checks for the likelihood of a continuation in the stream of benefits produced by the programme/project after the period of external support has ended.

    To maintain sustainability of initiatives SiA ensure programme/project are relevant and beneficiaries can continue with activities after project phase out.

    Impacts

    In this, SiA focus on the effect of the project on its wider environment, and its contribution to the overall objective.
