BELOW ARE DETAILS IN EXTENSION AND TRAINING MONITORING
AND EVALUATION SYSTEM OF THE EXTENSION DEPARTMENT:

Description of research monitoring and evaluation system
(Instrument used, evaluation results, etc.)

To see to it that there is an efficient implementation of ongoing and
completed projects, a monitoring and evaluating procedure is being
organized by the E & T unit. This is being done following the hereunder
schedule:

This is done to be able to identify which project will most likely have
an impact on the target clientele. Emphasis is on how the project could
help improve the economic status, the acquisition of new knowledge and
skills of the clientele.

Extension and Training

General Objectives:
• To generate valid and reliable data and information as basis for
assessment and re-planning. Evaluation provides justification to
project decisions as follows:
• To continue or defer the implementation of EST new projects;
• To continue executing or to make changes on plans and activities
of on-going projects. Evaluation prompts projects to accelerate its
implementation or to revise implementation plans to suit current
conditions;
• To continue or to terminate on-going projects. Evaluation
reinforces the conviction to proceed with operation until it is
finish, or serve warning to cut short the lifespan of a project;
• To communicate with all project stakeholders;
• To generate a sense of accountability, satisfaction and unity
among all stakeholders.

Specific Objectives:
• To furnish data and information essential for project planning;
• To identify operational strengths, problems, weaknesses, issues
and concerns;
• To account for the executions of plans;
• To determine and analyze the extent of achievement to project
results, purposes and goals including unplanned activities; and
• To determine the impacts and potential of projects.

When and How to Evaluate
Time element with reference to the duration of a project shall be
considered in conducting evaluation. Research projects shall be
evaluated along their life-span, that is, before, during and after the term
of operation.
