Strategic Monitoring
Monitoring each ES-YJL site’s performance is essential to supporting continuous improvement. The purpose of strategic monitoring is to promote the effective and efficient use of tools and resources, enable ministry staff and service providers to optimize resources, and identify service providers that require greater support to target areas that require improvement through monitoring.
