The Rocket, Pocket and Socket Science - Innovative Methods for Project Supervision in FCV Contexts

"Systematically enhancing Monitoring and Evaluation and supervision in FCV settings"

The objective of this session is to introduce the Geo-Enabling initiative for Monitoring and Supervision (GEMS).

The GEMS initiative was launched by the FCV Group to systematically enhance Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) as well as supervision in FCV settings. This is achieved by building capacity among clients, partners, and Bank teams on the ground, to leverage field-appropriate technology for digital data collection and analysis. Using these tools and methods allow operations to enhance the transparency and accuracy of M&E and increase the accountability of third-party monitoring (TPM). At the same time, GEMS provides platforms for remote supervision, real-time risk monitoring, and portfolio mapping for coordination across projects and partners.

The session is an overview of the 3-day capacity-building training that the GEMS team offers to Bank staff, clients, and partners. It covers the functionality of the digital platforms, in-field data collection process, and data analysis. It also covers various examples from the field and provides learners with specific use cases of GEMS related to WB projects and programs. 

This session is part of the Fragility Forum 2020 Virtual Series.
