This case study looks at how to monitor results in order to help manage and steer a programme. It presents the experiences of M4C in Bangladesh, concentrating on how they track changes in intermediate indicators common to several interventions.

The case focuses primarily on M4C's quantitative information gathering as this is an area many programmes find challenging. The case study describes how the M4C team structures monitoring to make it more efficient and effective and provides examples of tools that M4C uses. It also describes how M4C regularly analyses and uses monitoring information to steer interventions and develop its portfolio.
