Author:MEASURE Evaluation, The Global Fund, U.S. Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator, Health Metrics Network
Description:The Monitoring and Evaluation System Strengthening Tool (MESST) was designed as a global tool to assess M&E plans and systems. Its purpose is to assess the M&E plan and capacity for its implementation; evaluate how M&E activities are linked and integrated in the national M&E system; and help develop a costed action plan to strengthen M&E. Use of this tool is not intended to be a stand-alone activity, but is meant to occur in the context of other efforts to strengthen M&E systems at the country level. This tool can be used at the national level, within groups of projects, and within individual projects and organizations.
