I look forward to reading the report - is it available to the public?

Monitoring and Evaluation of Sport for Development projects has always been challenging, but if we are to get greater support from key agencies, we need to provide evidence that Sport for Development really works.

At TTASPE, we have been working on an M&E tool based on Fred Coalter's work and soon we'll be sharing it with this forum so that others may benefit from it and/or contribute to making it better.

That sounds great, Mark! Could you say a little more about the M&E tool you're developing? Is it designed specifically for TTASPE projects?

As for the report, the article says it'll be launched tomorrow. Most of what is produced by the SDPIWG is available to the public so I'm sure this report will be too.

The tool is based on the Most Significant Change model> There is a guide to the MSC tecnique developed by Rick Davies and Jess Dart that can be downloaded from the following website:
www.mande.co.uk/docs/MSCGuide.htm and www.clearhorizon.com.au

Chanzo Greenidge has been working with TTASPE to make the MSC model applicable to the Sport for Development projects that we've been doing.

Although I believe that the MSC model is probably the most appropriate (that I have seen) for the evaluation of Sport for Development projects, it must be noted that using the MSC technique has its challenges... but such is the reality of authentic M&E.
