Challenges to “One M&E System” • No M&E unit at the national level • Indicators not harmonized- Everybody have their own – Ministries, Donors, CSO etc • No unified data collection formats- Organizations have their own different formats for similar indicators- “Same person ” at lower fills it all !!!! • Different report-Information Flow • Limited not unified capacity building plan -- including training and human capacity at all levels to role out a national M&E system • Non existence of an integrated data base (including HMIS) • Surveillance more developed than Program Monitoring • Limited Budget for M&E • Non-existent and disjointed Evaluation plan • Infrastructure (road, telecommunication, networking, etc) varies from region to region
M&E-2003-present • M&E Department at national ( 5 Staff ), Regional HAPCOs and district focal persons.
