PREVAL seeks to develop national and local capacities to achieve participatory, impact oriented Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (PME) systems in the field of sustainable rural development. |
| PREVAL IN ACTION |
Technical assistance to projects co-funded by IFAD a) Learning Route on “Innovative Methodologies for the Monitoring and Evaluation of Rural Development”, organised jointly by PREVAL and PROCASUR (Lima – Cuzco, Peru – April 2008) PREVAL and PROCASUR made an alliance to hold a Learning Route on Innovative Methodologies for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (PME), as requested by the projects “Project for Development of Agroproductive Chains in Barlovento Region” (CIARA/BARLOVENTO) of Venezuela and the “Management of Natural Resources in the Chaco and High Valleys” (PROMARENA) of Bolivia. The Learning Route took place on April 13 to 19 in Lima and Cuzco, and saw the participation of the host project for the Development of Puno-Cuzco Corridor (CORREDOR), which presented its innovative experiences on the implementation of its Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation and Systematization (PMES) system. Guest projects included MARENASS, presenting its community M&E experience, and the Southern Highlands project, which introduced its institutional website.

Lima, August 13-15, 2008. In April 2008, PREVAL won a contest on innovation within IFAD with a proposal aiming at promoting the dissemination of knowledge on impacts and good practices in the area of technological, social and institutional innovations for rural development through virtual learning communities, using images as a complementary tool in Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (PME). To achieve this objective, the following outputs have been proposed for development: |

| SPECIAL FEATURE ON "THE SOCIAL USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES (ICT´s)" |
PREVAL and its associates consider the local Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation systems as spaces for building knowledge to advance economic, social and technological inclusion of the most vulnerable social groups. In addition, they are opportunities to develop skills for dialogue, negotiations and for defending change proposals with their own identities, articulated to the world beyond its borders. They are participatory approaches based on the use and communication of results and new knowledge by multiple stakeholders at the local level, developed in the Andean area of Latin America. Furthermore, we seek to foster the social use of new information technologies to favour the inclusion of rural sectors marginalised from these ICTs. Given the importance of the impact information and communication technologies have on social development and, therefore, on monitoring and evaluation, we have prepared a special article where you will find a directory of organisations related to the subject, as well as publications, articles and videos. 1.- Directory Association for Progressive Communications - APC Bellanet CEPES - Peruvian Center of Social Studies Colnodo Orange Foundation Global Knowledge Partnership – GKP Infoandina Procasur Practical Action – ITDG Sula Batsu 2.- Publications / Bibliography Civil Society and National ICT Projects: “¿El Baile de los que Sobran?” (“Of Those Left Behind?”) GIS and Cartography: An Introducory Overview Innovative Technologies and Community Ownership: A New Model of ICT Acces for Rural Poor Introduction to Web 2.0 Introduction to Thematic Maps Thematic Maps Applied to Monitoring and Evaluation Web 2.0 Visual Map 3.- Relevant Articles and Videos Basic Bibliography on ICTs for Human Development Impact of ICTs ON EDUCATION IMPACT OF ICTs ON RURAL DEVELOPMENT Intercambios Bulletin ICTs in Social Development and Poverty Reduction (Telecentres, Education and Health) Knowledge Managment in Rural Develpoment: ICTs Contribution |
