SocioServe is working towards establishing a comprehensive, integrated web-based Monitoring and Evaluation System that will strengthen development planning and budgeting; track the implementation progress and assess the results and impact of projects as well as actions envisaged in key strategic documents. This will also entail tracking of progress made towards the implementation of the strategic documents. The system will also monitor inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes and evaluate the impact and effectiveness of specific interventions. It is in this regard that SocioServe sought assistance with the establishment of an Automated Monitoring and Evaluation System to effectively measure projects’ impacts.
