Monitoring and evaluation framework. COVID‑19 strategic preparedness and response, 5 June 2020

Abstract

Rationale: Collecting and analysing global and country response indicators against planned actions or processes is essential to ensure accountability and transparency in monitoring progress and identifying gaps. The COVID‑19 Strategic Preparedness and Response Plan (SPRP) Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (COVID‑19 M&E Framework) lists key public health and essential health services and systems indicators to monitor preparedness, response, and situations during the COVID‑19 pandemic. Objectives: The COVID‑19 M&E Framework aims to assess performance and to provide recorded information to support analysis of progress against the SPRP1 and the related SPRP Strategy Update... The main objective is to establish and maintain a set of global and country indicators to support: strategic thinking, operational tracking, real-time evidence-based decision‑making, and to ensure advocacy and transparency between donors, UN agencies, and partners involved in the response. This will allow WHO, other UN agencies, and partners to track progress against goals and to correct approaches and actions should this be necessary.
