<strong>Project</strong> <strong>Cycle</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Training</strong> <strong>Handbook</strong><br />
How will we<br />
know what is<br />
being achieved?<br />
• how regularly it should be provided. (e.g. monthly, quarterly,<br />
annually etc.)<br />
Sources outside the project should be assessed for accessibility,<br />
reliability and relevance. The work and costs of collecting<br />
information to be produced by the project itself should also be<br />
assessed, and adequate means provided. There is often a direct<br />
relationship between the complexity of the SOV (ie. ease of data<br />
collection and analysis) and its cost, as illustrated in Figure 20 below.<br />
Other indicators should replace those for which suitable SOVs cannot<br />
be found. If an OVI is found too expensive or complicated to collect,<br />
it should be replaced by a simpler, cheaper OVI.<br />

'Means' are the human, material and financial resources required to<br />
undertake the planned activities and manage the project. In order to<br />
provide an accurate estimate of the means and costs required for a<br />
project, planned activities and management support activities must be<br />
specified in sufficient detail. An area for particular attention is the<br />
cost of collecting data on OVIs.<br />
