The management of the EFA monitoring process will ensure that there is continued high level leadership and commitment to EFA goals and policies. For example, Chairperson and Vice-chairperson of the NEFAC will lead high level review missions to identify particular policy and strategy issues that may effect the implementation of overall MoEYS reforms and specific priority programs. The Quality of Education Working Group of the EFA Secretariat will organise these missions and coordinate circulation of mission reports within the various line Ministries.

The EFA Secretariat will coordinate progress and impact monitoring by institutions and departments within their respective directorates. The NEFAC will also conduct regular review missions with their senior management staff. The Quality of Education Working Group of EFA Secretariat in collaboration with the Department of Planning will coordinate sector performance monitoring, drawing on impact and progress reports of the various programs, reports on specific donor/NGO pilot programs, and other sources of information.

Individual line Ministries will organise monitoring of specific programs under their responsibility. Relevant institutions will ensure that monitoring activities cover all provinces and all activities within each program. On receipt of local reports at all levels (e.g., provincial, district, etc), which will be circulated by the EFA Secretariat, individual departments and institutions will be expected to compile consolidated technical and financial progress reports on each program. Individual institutions in charge of specific programs, will also produce an annual impact report on these programs. These reports will be used as part of the annual sector performance report to be presented at the annual Education for All Review and will form the basis for annual and mid term assessment of EFA progress. This arrangement will ensure coordination of medium and long-term monitoring processes.

Provincial EFA Commissions in cooperation with provincial education offices will monitor the progress of program activities for each program, checking that activities are completed effectively and on time. These monitoring teams will also track the flow of program funds to schools/institutions. Provincial EFA Commissions will ensure that district education offices are allocated funds for monitoring and that they conduct regular monitoring and support at school level. These teams will provide technical support and guidance, especially through district, cluster, and commune levels.

The Quality Education Working Group in cooperation with the Planning Department will take the lead in the coordination of the necessary information gathering and its analysis. The exact nature and timing of information gathering and analysis will need to take account of the various planning and review activities of the relevant line Ministries. The EFA secretariat will coordinate with the various levels of monitoring in order to ensure adequate information is available for monitoring EFA progress.

In addition, the EFA monitoring process will allow for broader stakeholder consultation and evaluation of progress with the education reforms and achievement of EFA policy and strategy targets. For example, MoEYS will commission selective independent evaluations and monitoring exercises from NGOs where appropriate (e.g. for field level quality assessments, access improvements for children from poor families). MoEYS also plans to expand grass-roots operational research to feed into ESSP and EFA monitoring, through regular feedback mechanisms on MoEYS' own research and lessons learned from donor and NGO small-scale initiatives.
