4. Monitoring/evaluation

As is the case with all phases of the project, your monitoring and evaluation strategy will depend on the objectives you have set for the selection process. The following are just a few ideas:
C The jurors themselves can play the lead role in monitoring and evaluation of this phase. You can ask the members of the selection committees to describe _ both on a questionnaire and in a plenary discussion _ the value and benefit of the selection process for them personally, as well as their views on whether or not the declared objectives for this process have been achieved.
C After the selection process is finished, you will be in position to draft and distribute documents based on the jurors_ input (for example, a document on juror observations on the content of the scenarios and corresponding recommendations to the AIDS-prevention community). You could solicit feedback from people who receive those documents, asking them to discuss whether and in what way the jurors_ findings have been helpful to them.
C The members of the juries will develop close professional relationships in the course of the selection process, and that will lead to a number of spin-off outputs and synergies. It should be possible to map those synergies.
C Monitoring and evaluation activities on the impact of the films do not only reveal whether or not the filmmaker did a good job. Rather, they are a commentary on every step of the process, including the work of the selection committees.
