The Borno State Government, in collaboration with UNICEF, has conducted a comprehensive assessment to improve its monitoring and evaluation (M&E) framework, aiming to enhance transparency and accountability in project implementation.
During a dissemination workshop in Maiduguri the Commissioner for Reconstruction, Rehabilitation, and Resettlement (RRR), Haladu Garba, emphasized that the initiative is designed to refine how development projects are tracked and their impacts measured.
The assessment, conducted by My I.T. Consult Limited with UNICEF’s support, determined that Borno has a moderate level of preparedness for a results-based M&E system. However, it identified gaps in training, governance structures, and data management that need urgent attention.
Joseph Senissie, UNICEF’s Acting Chief of Borno Field Office, reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to supporting the state in developing a child-focused M&E system aligned with its long-term development goals.
Senissie urged the government to act on the assessment’s recommendations, particularly by investing in data-driven solutions to improve project transparency and efficiency.
The workshop brought together key government officials and representatives from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to discuss the assessment findings and explore strategies for improving project oversight in the state.
