Skills for Life — Month 6 Mid-Term Monitoring Report

 

Developed a comprehensive mid-term monitoring and reporting package for a simulated 12-month youth economic empowerment programme, assessing implementation progress against programme targets and translating monitoring data into actionable management insights.

Key deliverables:

• Performance Monitoring: Tracked nine programme indicators across participant registration, training delivery, completion, skills assessment and post-training support, including achievement analysis and performance status.

• Budget Monitoring: Analysed an ₦8 million programme budget, tracking expenditure, variance and utilisation across five budget lines.

• M&E Dashboard: Developed an Excel dashboard presenting key performance indicators, Target vs Actual analysis, budget utilisation and traffic-light performance status.

• Mid-Term Reporting: Produced a structured donor-style monitoring report covering programme performance, financial utilisation, accountability and community feedback, implementation challenges, corrective actions and recommendations.

Key finding: Market and employer linkages stood at 31 against a target of 50, representing 62% achievement and the most significant performance gap at mid-term. The analysis informed targeted recommendations to strengthen employer partnerships and expand market linkage opportunities during Months 7–12.
