| dc.description.abstract | The Uasin Gishu County M&E Policy is designed with a view to developing M&E system called County Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation System (CIMES). CIMES is expected to strengthen the monitoring and evaluation function in the County and enhance coordination between the national government and the County government in tracking policies, programmes and projects in the County. CIMES is a set of structures, people, procedures and guidelines to guide M&E in the County and will provide a coordinated manner of M&E implementation of policies, programmes and projects at County and sub-county levels to provide feedback to policy makers for decision making. Its overall objective will be to provide a reliable mechanism to monitor and evaluate implementation of all policies, programmes and projects as articulated in the CIDP and other plans.
The Constitution of Kenya 2010, County Government Act (2012) Sections 47(1) and 108(1), Intergovernmental Relations Act (2012) Sections 7 and 8, Public Finance Management Act (2012) Sections 104(1) and 126(1), and the draft Kenya National M&E Policy of 2018 and NIMES provide the constitutional, legal and policy frameworks for M&E and the development of CIMES.
Monitoring and evaluation forms an integral part of development process, and therefore the M&E policy will establish common structures and standards that will govern the application of effective monitoring and evaluation of policies, programmes and projects with a view to maximizing on development outcomes in the County. | en |
