M&E PLANThe M&E plan is a concise document that provides a roadmap
for how M&E will be conducted. • It assists MDAs/MMDAs to measure progress toward
achievement of the S/DMTDP goals and objectives in a structured way
• It provides a clear direction on how specific activities and expected results of the S/DMTDP will be utilised
• It incorporates components that makes it possible to understand the S/DMTDP, reflect and learn lessons from its implementation.
• The process of developing the plan must be as participatory and collaborative as possible

Duplication of efforts at all levels with minimal co-ordination E.G. World Bank mission report in October 2004 states”
• “while all core management agencies of government and sectors are increasing their focus on M&E, there is also an increasing risk of overlap, replication and development of parallel processes. Development Partner support is contributing to this. The increasing number of interventions and partners has increased the number of overlapping and potentially contradictory systems. Poor coordination in decentralized M&E has been identified as producing negative returns”.
