A progressive, sustainable, technologically driven, evidence-based and client-centered nutrition system with the highest attainable standards of health at all levels of care.

The County M&E units or equivalent will be responsible for overall oversight of M&E activities. The functional linkage of the nutrition program to the department of health and the overall county intersectoral government M&E will be through the county M&E TWG. Health department M&E units will be responsible for the day to day implementation and coordination of the M&E activities to monitor this action plan.

The nutrition program will share their quarterly progress reports with the county department of

health (CDOH) M&E unit, who will take lead in the joint performance reviews at subnational level.

The county management teams will prepare the quarterly reports and in collaboration with county stakeholders and organize the county quarterly performance review forums. These reports will  be shared with the national M&E unit during the annual health forum, which brings together all stakeholders in health to jointly review the performance of the health sector for the year under review.

For a successful monitoring of this action plan, the county will have to strengthen their M&E function by investing in both the infrastructure and the human resource for M&E. Technical capacity building for data analysis could be promoted through collaboration with research institutions or training that target the county M&E staff. Low reporting from other sectors on nutrition sensitive indicators is still a challenge due to the use different reporting systems that are not inter-operational. Investment on Health Information System (HIS) infrastructure to facilitate e-reporting is therefore key. Timely collection and quality assurance of health data will improve with a team dedicated to this purpose
