A Consultant and\u00a0Lead Facilitator, Mr. Paul Rex Danquah, gave a presentation on \u201cMonitoring and Evaluation.\u201d He explained that monitoring is an ongoing process by which stakeholders obtain regular feedback on the progress being made towards achieving their goals and objectives.<\/p>\n

According to him, evaluation is an assessment, of an activity, project, programme, strategy, policy, topic, theme, sector, operational area and institutional performance. Mr. Danquah highlighted six steps of M & E, including, problem identification, logic model, indicator selection and definition, target setting, data collection and analysis and evaluation.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that successful monitoring systems rely on four essential pillars, namely, ownership (vested interest and sense of responsibility), management, maintenance (regular updates ensures sustainability), and credibility (accurate, reliable and unbiased).<\/p>\n

Mr. Danquah concluded his presentation with a thought-provoking quote from Henry Ford: \u201cIf you do things the same way you have always done them,\u00a0you will get the\u00a0same results\u00a0you have always gotten. In order to change your results,\u00a0you have got to\u00a0do things\u00a0differently.”<\/p>\n

The second Facilitator, also a Consultant, Mr. Patrick Andoh, discussed \u201cQuality Service.\u201d He defined quality service as the ability of a product or service to consistently meet or exceed customer expectations. Mr. Andoh outlined the fundamental service quality dimensions, vital for delivering outstanding service, namely, convenience, reliability, responsiveness, time, assurance, courtesy and tangibles.<\/p>\n

He stressed on the pivotal role of quality and personal values in driving organizational\/business excellence. According to him, personal values are the foundation of quality when individuals prioritize excellence, responsibility and respect. Mr. Andoh highlighted the three levels of quality, including, organizational level (meeting external customer requirements), process level (linking external and internal customer requirements) and performer\/job level (meeting internal customer requirements).<\/p>\n
