Monitoring & Evaluation is the youngest department in Hand in Hand. It aims to provide leadership to implement professional M&E standard, monitor strategic plan and indicators through a methodological approach, track recommendations, supply evidence-based information for planning and decision making and most importantly to support and coordinate internal and external evaluations. This division keeps improving and evolving through in-house communication, developing professional network which includes mobilising technical resources by convening in-house as well as external sources. The team works to bring reliability and accuracy to data and help to use them for decision making. A framework for M&E is being drafted, which would provide guidelines and standards for implementing M&E activities.

The five parameters which are the main focus of the M&E Department:

• Relevance
• Effectiveness
