The past years several initiatives have been launched to improve M&E efforts in the field of Sport and Development. NCDO conducted quickscan on experience and knowledge of quality standards and evaluation criteria of sports and development organisations. Unicef organised a workshop about M&E in 2005. The follow up has resulted in a manual specifically for the monitoring and evaluation of projects in the field of sport and development cooperation (F. Coalter, 2006, A Monitoring and Evaluation Manual, Sterling University and UK Sport). Nike initiated a series of workshops with the aim of sharing learning's, networking and engaging in open dialogue with practicioners about gender equity through sport in development. A tool for M&E is being developed, based on the method 'Making the case' of the Women's Funding Network.
