Edith, I so concur though I would recommend that we dicuss what such a 'Monitoring and Evaluation' framework would entail so there is actually some learning and measurable outcomes which are implementable (forgive the mouthful). I worry that there are many doing M&E for the sake of it. Regardless, I agree it is necessary.
