The key challenge in monitoring and results measurement (MRM) is ensuring that it is fully integrated with programme management. An MRM manual provides staff with written guidance on why and how the MRM system works and their roles within it.

This guidance note provides an annotated outline of a programme-specific MRM manual illustrated with examples from actual programmes.

It provides readers with a good understanding and practical examples of what to include in a program-specific MRM manual. Annexed are full MRM manuals from various programmes.
