1 Introduction
9-12 December, 2013 In Section 1, you will learn about the basic definitions and terminology used in this module.

Examples from national, regional and global levels will support the rationale for monitoring
and evaluation with a national IEA based on the GEO approach.

1.1 Definitions

The monitoring, evaluation and learning guidelines suggested in Module 8 refer to the
national IEA process described in Module 2, presented here in Figure 1. Module 8 argues
that in order to have the desired policy effects, you need to monitor and evaluate the
process, products and impacts, and use your lessons learned in planning and improving
the next IEA cycle.
