A. RATIONALE
Resource is always scares. There also exist different strategies to achieve a given goal. Planning therefore helps to make choices among alternative course of action, given the limited resources against defined set of objectives. Like wise, any plan with out M&E is a futile exercise. M&E system should be an integral part of any plan and helps to define and clarify the starting and end points; ensures whether the direction set is walked on and the desired goals are achieved. It is a continuous tracking, assurance and learning processes that will help to improve things and successfully achieve results. Further, it brings knowledge to influence future thinking and action.
This M&E plan is therefore developed and integrated as part of the Strategic Plan (2015 – 2019).
