Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation Program Logic Plan Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Plan Example
Q:	How will this process help me?
A:	Building on your completed program logic model, this process will assist you to develop your monitoring and evaluation plan. This plan will eventually inform your Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation Final Evaluation Report. 
This ‘Monitoring & Evaluation Example’ is a continuation of the Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation Program Logic Example. 
The Charitable Foundation recommend visiting Community Sustainability Engagement Evaluation Toolbox if you require additional guidance to preparing your Program Logic Plan, Program Logic Plan - Monitoring Questions & Indicators Plan, and Program Logic Plan - Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Plan.
