H. DESCRIBE THE BUDGETED M & E PLAN:
1. The project has two levels of monitoring: 1) monitoring and evaluation of project progress,
with the principal objective of tracking and assessing progress in achieving outcomes and
outputs detailed within the Results Framework and other project documents, and 2) the
establishment of an Ecotourism Impact Monitoring System (ETIMS), fully linked to
ANAM`s Protected Area Management Effectiveness Improvement Program or PMEMAP
(Programa de Mejoramiento de la Efectividad de Manejo de las Areas Protegidas), and
sustainable beyond the execution of the Project.
2. Monitoring and evaluation at the project level, including the day-to-day monitoring of project
activities, will be the responsibility of the Project Coordinator based within ANAM (the
Executing Agency), with support from a Financial Specialist assigned for this operation within
ANAM. The Project Coordinator will liaise with ANAM‟s upper-level management, the Panama
Tourism Authority (Autoridad de Turismo de Panama – ATP formerly IPAT), and the Bank to
ensure adequate communication and smooth coordination throughout the execution of the
project. The total estimated cost for Project progress monitoring and evaluation is US$120,000.
