As part of the FSRP’s performance management, a robust monitoring and evaluation system has been put in place to ensure sufficient evidence-based accountability, as well as collective learning to enable the scaling-up of good practices identified in its implementation.

This M&E system enables the FSRP to: (i) monitor the implementation of activities at national and regional levels; (ii) coordinate the collection of information at national and regional levels to enable PRSP stakeholders and supervisors to make evidence-based decisions in real time; (iii) evaluate the results of the project; (iv) promote transparency and efficiency while capitalising on and disseminating lessons learned; (v) produce data that can be used in periodic communication campaigns aimed at project stakeholders (beneficiaries, implementing operators, national and regional institutions, technical and financial partners) and the general public.

Two IT tools (MESECOPS and KoboToolbox) are used simultaneously to collect, process, analyse and share information at national and regional levels. The system is accessible online to allow decentralised access for data entry, consultation and secure access at any time.
