PROGRAM PERFORMANCE PROFILE

RECETS that is in-charge of the research and extension functions, the planning
and implementation of research and extension projects is decentralized but unified

up to the department level. This approach has been institutionalized and
exemplified in CvSU through the concept called UGNAYAN.

Article 11. Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring continuously tracks performance against what was planned by collecting and

analyzing data on the indicators established for monitoring and evaluation purposes. It
provides continuous information on whether progress is being made toward achieving
results (outputs, outcomes and goals) through record keeping and regular reporting

systems. Monitoring looks at both programmed processes and changes in conditions of
target groups and institutions brought about by programmed activities. It also identifies

strengths and weaknesses in a programmed. The performance information generated
from monitoring enhances learning from experience and improves decision-making.
Management and programmed implementers typically conduct monitoring.

Evaluation is a periodic, in-depth analysis of programmed performance. In relies on data
generated through monitoring activities as well as information obtained from other sources
(e.g., studies, research, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, surveys etc.).

Evaluations are often (but not always) conducted with the assistance of external
evaluators (UNFPA, 2004).

Section 1. Monitoring Strategies
a) Mechanisms and Processes

1. Creation of the University Research, Development and Extension Council
(URDEC)
The Council is composed of the Research and Extension Directors and selected faculty

members who are considered experts in their respective fields. The Vice President for
Research Development and Extension chair this council. The University President
designates the members of the URDEC.

The Council primarily reviews research and extension policies, guidelines, programs
and projects. In relation to monitoring and evaluation, the group acts as Panel of
Reviewers during the Extension Agency In-House Review. They review and evaluate

various on-going and completed extension programs/projects and activities of the
different colleges and branch campuses.

2. Appointment/Assignment of the Research, Development and Extension (RDE)
Coordinators for the different colleges and campuses.
