The County Government of Baringo aspires to have an attractive, competitive and Tresilient county health system.As such it is committed to improving the health status of the citizens through provision of quality, affordable, accessible healthcare services. It is therefore imperative that the county government's plans and interventions are monitored regularly and evaluated periodically to assess progress, identify shortcomings and most importantly make necessary adjustments for improvement. A sound Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework is crucial for the success of county health service delivery.
This M&E plan has been developed to provide for an elaborate process of tracking progress of implementation of key health sector interventions. It links the outcomes sought with the inputs and processes that the county government and stakeholders are investing in towards improving health services in the county. It will also ensure that the indicators, their definitions, means of data collection and measurement are comparable over time.The plan also seeks to enhance coordination of stakeholders in monitoring and evaluation of the county health sector strategic plan for the period 2019-2023,by outlining structures and responsibilities for the various stakeholders.
The M&E plan has been informed by the situational analysis undertaken during the development of the County Health Sector Strategic plan as well as the assessment of County Health M&E system undertaken during the baseline assessment supported by the USAID's Tupime Kaunti Project. Capacity strengthening of the county health M&E system has been identified as a priority and M&E strengthening interventions are included this plan.
