The commercial opportunity being pursued through follow-on funding is bringing to the market a new class of systematic and independent monitoring and evaluation (M&E) data that meets the need of the key stake holders such as the national governments, international donors and NGOs. The proposed follow on project will use the outcomes of EPSRC project 'Indicators for Measuring, Monitoring and Evaluating Post-Disaster Recovery' (EP/F015232/1), where a suite of twelve Performance Indicators spanning core recovery sectors were extracted from high-resolution satellite imagery. The prototype M&E datasets resulted from pilot testing the recovery performance indicators in the cities of Ban Nam Khem, Thailand after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and Muzaffarabad, Pakistan after the 2005 earthquake. The Recovery Project Team delivered the following research outcomes: (1) a transferrable methodology for monitoring and evaluating post-disaster recovery using satellites; and (2) a range of data representations, e.g. GIS maps, graphs, bar charts, tables for displaying the recovery information. The main objective of the follow on project is to: (1) identifying and developing database structures and data packages that suit the needs of aid agencies with different geographic foci and scales of operation; and (2) identifying and developing delivery protocols that suit the workflow of aid agencies, taking into account the fact that different data in different forms are required at different operational stages. These aims will be achieved by engaging the end user community to robustly test the prototype indicators within operational situations, and thereby fine-tuning them into a commercial M&E data offering.Monitoring and evaluating (M&E) progress made on the ground is a fundamental requirement for aid projects that provide assistance to long term recovery. An investment in data that enables donors to provide accountability to stakeholders will allow more efficient agency intervention. It will ultimately improve project outcomes by impartially assessing whether objectives are being met at key stages during the lifetime of a project.

通过后续供资寻求的商业机会为市场带来了一类新的系统和独立的监测和评价数据，满足了国家政府、国际捐助者和非政府组织等主要利益攸关方的需要。拟议的后续项目将利用EPSRC项目“衡量、监测和评价灾后恢复的指标”（EP/F015232/1）的成果，其中从高分辨率卫星图像中提取了一套涵盖核心恢复部门的12项业绩指标。原型监测和评价数据集是2004年印度洋海啸后在泰国Ban Nam Khem市和2005年地震后在巴基斯坦Muzaffarabad市对恢复业绩指标进行试点测试的结果。恢复项目小组取得了以下研究成果：（1）利用卫星监测和评价灾后恢复的可转让方法;（2）一系列数据表示法，如地理信息系统地图、图表、条形图、显示恢复信息的表格。后续项目的主要目标是：（1）确定和开发适合具有不同地理重点和业务规模的援助机构需求的数据库结构和数据包;（2）确定和开发适合援助机构工作流程的交付协议，同时考虑到在不同业务阶段需要不同形式的不同数据。实现这些目标的方法是，让最终用户界参与在实际情况下对原型指标进行有力的测试，从而将其调整为商业监测和评价数据，监测和评价实地取得的进展是为长期恢复提供援助的援助项目的一项基本要求。对数据进行投资，使捐助者能够向利益攸关方问责，这将使机构能够更有效地进行干预。它将通过公正地评估在项目周期的关键阶段是否实现了目标，最终改善项目成果。
