Openness in the generation and use of evidence in monitoring and evaluation.
There must be consistency in the application of M&E tools and should follow international best practice.
Persons undertaking monitoring and evaluation must have the requisite core competences and must exercise their function without any personal opinions or biases.
Those entrusted with carrying out M&E duties must adhere to agreed M&E standards.
M&E information must be used to promote learning, programme management and policy formulation. Lessons learnt must contribute to improved development interventions in the future.
All M&E processes must be collaborative and consultative. All relevant actors must be included at the right time.
We aim to provide just-in-time information to enable quick decision making that cuts through the bureaucracy and hierarchy of the government. The MES will also support top government leadership to communicate evidence-based, non-politicised outcomes regularly with regard to the achievements of the transformation programme across the regions and districts.
Learn moreWe collaborate with the Office of the Vice President, National Development Planning Commission, the Statistical Services and other relevant agencies as appropriate to ensure the generation and use of evidence-based information for decision making by the Economic Management Team and Cabinet.
