Tracking Progress Towards Results: The M&E Plan and the ITT

---

MCA-N's Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Plan was developed to serve as a tool to plan and manage the process of monitoring, evaluating, and reporting progress towards achieving Compact results. It is used in conjunction with other reporting and management tools such as work plans, procurement plans, and financial plans.

The M&E Plan serves as a guide for programme implementation and management and a communication tool that allows MCA-N and other stakeholders to understand the Compact's objectives and the targets the Programme must achieve. The related Indicator Tracking Table (ITT), which reports on the indicators in the M&E Plan on a quarterly basis, helps document progress made towards those objectives and targets as implementation proceeds and provides data and information to support decisions about programme adjustments.

Planning for Results: Compact Development

In the course of Compact/Programme development, Namibia identified its constraints to development and tailored the MCA-N Programme to address those constraints. This means that the Programme should help unlock the country's development potential – and, from the very beginning, indicators were identified and targets established that would help us assess whether this potential was indeed being unlocked.
