1. Background and Purposes:

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is an important and required part of all WWF projects. In recent years donors have required increasingly rigorous M&E of all projects. In response WWF has placed more and more emphasis on M&E and has developed rigorous M&E protocols. These protocols and M&E reporting are complicated and time consuming and therefore WWF-Thailand has established the position of M&E Coordinator to make sure that all projects satisfy rigorous M&E requirements and that all relevant project and program data are entered into the WWF Network System.
