Operational mechanism for the implementation process : Monitoring and evaluation programme of the African Plan of Action to accelerate the implementation of the Dakar and Beijing Platforms for Action 2000-2004

Abstract

The Operational Mechanism described below proposes the process whereby the Monitoring and Evaluation Programme of the African Plan of Action could be implemented. Operating within the regional and global framework of the preparations for the Beijing + 10 review meetings, the Operational Mechanism organizes the monitoring-related activities within the time frame of 2002 and 2003. The Evaluation related activities on the other hand are planned for 2004. Some technical non-government organizations who are heavily involved in development work will also be invited to participate in the Monitoring and Evaluation Programme considering that both women and men are the intended targets of their work as actors and beneficiaries. It is therefore critical that they too adopt the gender approach as a strategy for ensuring that their efforts have the intended impact on the intended beneficiaries. The participating NGOs will be selected and coordinated by the national coordinating NGO with the assistance of the participating ministries.
