Additionally, <strong>the</strong> effectiveness of <strong>the</strong> coordination among <strong>the</strong> actors involved in CIP financing<br />
and implementation, which is a necessary condition for achieving CIP results as planned,<br />
represents a cross-cutting dimension to be monitored and assessed.<br />
Key questions addressed by CIP M&E are <strong>the</strong> following ones:<br />
• Are inputs being mobilized as planned<br />
• Are <strong>the</strong> CIP inputs being produced as planned<br />
• Do <strong>the</strong> delivered inputs continue to be relevant for <strong>the</strong> achievement of Programme Outputs<br />
(both aggregate and outputs and sub outputs)<br />
• Are CIP Programmes relevant for contributing to NFP goals and outcomes/impacts<br />
• What are <strong>the</strong> main challenges, risks and opportunities<br />
• Are <strong>the</strong> priority investment areas still relevant<br />
• What are <strong>the</strong> financing gaps<br />
• What decisions need to be taken for improving CIP effectiveness<br />
CIP Monitoring is conducted at <strong>the</strong> Outcome/Impact, Output and Input levels of <strong>the</strong> CIP results<br />
chain. Monitoring is a “bottom-up” exercise focused on <strong>the</strong> analysis of CIP investment projects<br />
contribution to <strong>the</strong> achievement of expected Outputs and Outcomes/Impacts, as measured through<br />
<strong>the</strong> proxy indicators provided in <strong>the</strong> CIP Results Framework. CIP monitoring starts from <strong>the</strong> input<br />
level of <strong>the</strong> results chain (CIP investment projects), as shown in <strong>the</strong> model below.<br />
CIP individual Project performance information is consolidated at CIP Programme level,<br />
according to <strong>the</strong> classification provided in <strong>the</strong> CIP “project tree 1 ”. CIP progress reporting on a<br />
yearly basis will aim at gauging progress towards Outcome/Impact, Output and Input levels.<br />
CIP Monitoring is complemented by Mid Term Programme Reviews (Evaluations) providing an<br />
independent assessment on CIP Programmes, strategies and policies. The information generated<br />
through <strong>the</strong> CIP Programme Mid Term Reviews contributes to learning and knowledge on CIP<br />
effectiveness and allows identifying <strong>the</strong> unintended results and consequences of <strong>the</strong> implemented<br />
investment initiatives.<br />
CIP M&E activities are planned and implemented through <strong>the</strong> institutional arrangements<br />
identified by <strong>the</strong> GoB. The following sections of this guiding note describe <strong>the</strong> three pillars on<br />
which <strong>the</strong> CIP Monitoring System stands, namely:<br />
1) CIP Monitoring & Evaluation <strong>Plan</strong><br />
1 The CIP Project Tree matrix defines <strong>the</strong> linkages between CIP investment projects and <strong>the</strong> CIP Focus<br />
<strong>Investment</strong> Area (or Subprogramme with <strong>the</strong>ir respective sub-outputs) and, consequently, between projects<br />
and CIP Programmes (aggregate outputs). The aggregation of individual project performances, according to<br />
<strong>the</strong> Project Tree classification, is a proxy for assessing CIP Programme Performance. The Project Tree results<br />
from <strong>the</strong> CIP planning process and it is regularly reviewed according to <strong>the</strong> CIP monitoring cycle.<br />
