III. Reflections on practical examples
PCM at work in Rural Development Program, Romania
Rural Development Program preparation started with institutional and social assessments carried on
during years 2000 and 20011. The institutional framework and its capacity were pictured and the
potential key actors to be involved during the implementation were consulted during institutional
assessment and also in the preparation of the monitoring and evaluation system. The bottom-up
approach was assured while the project county applications have been elaborated, local stakeholders
being involved together with the representatives of local and regional/county authorities. The
different tools to be later on used in monitoring different activities of the project (e.g. capacity
building, roads) were tested by the villagers later involved in carrying on the projects and their
feedback have been later on incorporated in the revised versions of the forms. The Logframe has
been the starting point in the design of the monitoring and evaluation system of the project and
specific interlocking frameworks have been used to picture the overall project objectives’ hierarchy
as well as the sub-components’ objectives’ hierarchy (see table 4 from Project Assessment
Document 2002, p.53).
