• Key Performance Indicator (KPI) tracking aligned with strategic goals.
• External validation of data when required (audits, surveys, third-party reviews).

Outputs:

• Evaluation reports with findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
• Data accuracy scores and performance ratings for operational units.

3. Learning

Objective: Use data-driven insights to inform policies, improve systems, and enhance team performance.

Key Activities:

• Internal knowledge-sharing workshops on evaluation findings.
• Root cause analysis of underperformance or data discrepancies.
• Best practice documentation and case studies.

Outputs:

• MELR dashboards and public-facing impact reports.
• Stakeholder briefing packs.
• Compliance documentation for regulatory bodies.

Accountability Mechanisms

• Clear role ownership for data collection, validation, and use.
