Policies, strategies and plans

Organisational policies, strategies, and plans are high-level documents, usually endorsed at a senior governance level, which set the parameters for M&E within an organisation.

They can also establish ethical standards and evaluative criteria, enhancing the credibility and effectiveness of M&E practices.
