Monitoring and Evaluation Plans (MEPS): A Guidance Note

As part of rolling out the DRC Annual Reporting and Planning Framework (ARPF), all DRC programs are required to prepare so-called Monitoring and Evaluation Plans (MEPs). This guidance note briefly summarizes both key elements and processes associated with MEPs.

The Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (MEP) is a tool for planning and conducting the internal and external monitoring and reporting requirements of DRC programmes. MEPs are a mandatory requirement in DRC because they certify that relevant and timely data for monitoring, reporting and planning purposes is generated.
