Monitoring & Evaluation Unit
The M&E unit is responsible for tracking the implementation strategies and related activities at national and sub-national levels. The unit tracks the implementation of the strategic plan through continuous collection of data on the selected indicators. Most data collection tools are available and where not available, they are developed. The main source of data is the Central Data Warehouse (CDW) at the Department of Laboratory Services. The CDW is linked to the Laboratory Information System in all units and reference laboratories in the department. Other systems include the EPT database (for interlab EQA and Proficiency Testing (PT)), Kenya Health Information System (KHIS), VL/EID database, Lab capacity mapping database, RTCQI and GXlims AMR database. The M&E unit analyzes collected data and shares reports to DLS on a quarterly basis. An annual report is compiled and disseminated to relevant stakeholders and decision-makers. The monitoring and evaluation results are used for ongoing program refinement, informing program improvement and decision-making.
