Monitoring and evaluation

Expected outcome under APSED III

M&E systems are incorporated in national work plans to measure health system functionality, promote system improvement and ensure mutual accountability for health security.

Key elements of the focus area

• Integrated national and regional planning and review process are strengthened and lead to learning for continuous system improvements at all levels.
• M&E processes measure whether systems are working, not just whether capacities are in place.
• Partnership is promoted through M&E processes that include stakeholders from multiple sectors.
• Transparency and accountability in reporting on Member State capacities is fostered through annual reporting, after-action reviews, simulation exercises and JEE.
