The Unit was formed in 2012 with the onset of the Ministry moving from line budgeting to Programme Budgeting.  Then latter focused on results-based planning that requires reporting on outputs achieved with the resources invested, the outcome and impact that these will have on the livelihoods of people. The Unit has focused on providing support to projectize and monitor work plans. To facilitate this process, programme directors and coordinators actively participated in a Project Cycle Management training, conducted in May 2015 by Ten Step Method trainer Menno Valkenburg of the Nederland’s. The training exposed participants to the theory and practices in project cycle management. Equipped with this knowledge and the support of the M&E Unit, coordinators and programme directors have been developing projects for sponsorship.  Basic project and monitoring formats have also been developed and shared with officers in order to facilitate the M&E process within the Ministry.
