The Scottish Government

The monitoring, reporting and evaluation system for IDF funded projects has been re-designed to be more outcome focussed, and to offer greater structure to enable disaggregation of monitoring outcomes. We will be requesting specific information from all grant holders to support the monitoring and evaluation process in its entirety and enable effective monitoring of the impact of your project.

Project Level Monitoring and Evaluation

Project level monitoring involves three forms. The forms must be completed online and submitted electronically to internationaldevelopment@scotland.gsi.gov.uk. They are:

• Mid Financial Year Report - This form should keep the Scottish Government (SG) up to date with your progress between full financial reports, enabling the SG to consider any potential difficulties or problems arising in achieving your Objectives.
• End of Financial Year Report - this should be a full report of the financial year's progress, including a full financial report and details of progression towards project, programme and policy Aims and Objectives.
• Final Report - this should provide a final full financial report as well as a critical assessment of the project as a whole, and the success in meeting relevant Aims and Objectives. (Form to be added.)

The dates for the returning of the relevant forms are as follows:
