Monitoring is the process of gathering and interpreting information on the performance of a project post-implementation. This process should be ongoing and will usually take place in conjunction with other information gathering exercises being undertaken by a local authority or other organisation implementing a project.
The term ‘project' is used in this section for any option which has been implemented, whether it is an individual project or programme comprising a series of projects. Similarly, at this stage the term ‘project manager' is used to describe those who would undertake the Monitoring.
