UNDP will ensure that project monitoring and evaluation frameworks are in place and aligned with programme priorities, including strengthening the capacities of implementing partners in data collection and usage. UNDP will establish and manage a cost-shared project monitoring and evaluation function supporting the baseline, project and impact evaluations. The emphasis will be on data disaggregation to allow better monitoring and targeting. Partners will be involved in joint monitoring visits and mid-year reviews, as well as assurance activities to promote understanding of the relevance of monitoring and evaluation activities and to improve results-based management. The UNDP gender marker will be used to monitor expenditure and improve gender-based planning and decision-making.. Evaluation of Projects will be discussed with the National Implementing Partners and planned based on the lifespan of the projects. As for the Outcome and CPD evaluation this will be carried out as per the Evaluation Plan.
