E-Strategies GLOBAL INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES DEPARTMENT January 2005 MONITORING AND E VALUATION TOOLKIT

The focus of this toolkit is premised on the fact that effective Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is integral to the design and implementation of effective e-strategies. Developing M&E components of e-strategies is a means by which to ensure that the strategies are explicit and
realistic with regard to what they aim to achieve, and that their implementation is regularly assessed and realigned to ensure the efficient use of scarce resources. In many respects, the credibility and efficiency of e-strategies depends on their having a strong M&E spine.
