During the Implementation phase, resources are mobilised and activities are executed. In consultation with beneficiaries and stakeholders, project management monitors actual progress against planned progress to assess and report whether the project is on track towards achieving its objectives. Monitoring involves systematic and continuous collecting, analysis and using of information for the purpose of management and decision-making. If necessary the project is reoriented to bring it back on track, or to modify some of its objectives in the light of any significant changes that may have occurred since its planning.
