These guidelines are primarily intended for persons at the school (micro) and ministry/department level (macro) who are required to plan, organize, monitor, or evaluate CSE in schools. At the center of the guidelines is the Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) logical framework. The framework indicates what is to be measured, how it is to be measured, how frequently and by whom, and how the results of such measurement are to be reported. The guidelines are a tool for the teacher and school administrator (micro-level) to use in monitoring inputs, activities and short-term or immediate results (outputs), and for the government official responsible for CSE at the national level to evaluate impact and goal achievement. They provide an indication of the likely source of data for the evaluation of medium and long-term results (outcomes), impact at the individual, dyad/group, and societal level, and ultimately for the achievement of goals. The M&E framework is designed to enable countries to focus on the indicators of most importance or relevance to their contexts, while ensuring consistent and standardized data collection and analysis so that CARICOM, UNFPA and other partners can measure regional progress and compare data across countries.
