Abstract
Data collection is a critical component in the implementation of monitoring and evaluation strategies. It
can be used to understand different trends, track progress of a project and demonstrate results for
monitoring and evaluation. Researchers need to carefully plan and have knowledge on different methods
that can be used in the monitoring and evaluation of projects, programmes and policies. The purpose of
this chapter is to provide practical explanations of various data collection methods that can be used in
monitoring and evaluation of projects. There is a wide variety of data collection methods available and the
chapter has been written with the understanding that it is not possible to exhaust all the methods of
collection for monitoring and evaluation of projects. To this end, references that point the reader to
available resources on a number of methods especially the ones that may not be covered in this chapter
are given.
