A Step by Step Guide to Key Informant Monitoring

Key informant monitoring (KIM) is an innovative and participatory approach to program monitoring and research. KIM is also a tool for advocacy, participatory planning and empowerment of marginalized groups. It is an adaptation of the Participatory Ethnographic Evaluation and Research (PEER) method and was adapted by the Nepal Safer Motherhood Programme (NSMP) to be used in the specific context of rural Nepal.

This document is a practical step-by-step guide to using KIM. The aim of the guide is to enable agencies and programs to implement and adapt KIM to suit the specific needs and context of their program.

The guide is divided into three sections:

Section 1: Participatory Ethnographic Evaluation and Research (PEER) and Key Informant Monitoring (KIM)

Section 2: The KIM Process

Section 3: A Summary of Data Produced by NSMP
