NATIONAL MONITORING AND EVALUATION MANUAL
The Government of Ghana is committed to effective public service delivery, strengthening government accountability to its citizens, ensuring that policy formulation and decision making are based on evidence, and obtaining results in relation to its growth and development targets.

It is, therefore, critical to know, through monitoring and evaluation (M&E), the extent of progress being made towards the objectives of interventions.
