Monitoring  Track progress towards the agreed results in the Business Plan, Ministry Corporate Plan, NSDP....  Checks if assumptions made and risks identified at the design stage are still valid or need to be reviewed  Allows DoCC/NABs and implementing partners to make mid-term review as an integral part of programme management.
