SARDP: Empowering Grassroot Communities for Sustainable Development

Sida-Amhara Rural Development Program aims to enhance rural livelihoods sustainably by improving planning, agriculture, governance, and infrastructure. Strategies include stakeholder involvement, training, and monitoring. Objectives are to enhance M&E, institutionalize PPME training, and create a robust data system to drive program success. Stakeholders such as PCU, sector offices, technical assistants, communities, and donors play crucial roles in achieving these objectives. Challenges like resistance due to lack of attention to M&E and financial constraints are addressed through forums, incentives, and institutional support. M&E involves monitoring planned activities with key questions on system improvement, institutional adoption, and staff training indicators.
