This document outlines Ethiopia's Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Infrastructure and Facilities Development Program. The program consists of 6 Project Components (PCs) aimed at improving TVET infrastructure, facilities, governance and human resources. PC1 focuses on physical infrastructure development for TVET institutions, establishing special centers/institutes, and quality assurance authorities. PC2 aims to establish digital infrastructure for TVET delivery and research. The remaining PCs cover areas such as revising the TVET governance and leadership structure, building human resource capacity, and improving the legal framework and financing of the TVET sector.

Monitoring and Evaluation
• Monitoring and evaluation of programs has not been
practiced well as a system.
• Robust monitoring and evaluation system shall be instituted
to track changes and make proactive interventions in the
process of implementation of TVET policy, strategy, and the
intents.
• M&E data should be used to inform program changes and
new program development.
• Developing an M&E plan should outline what M&E
indicators to track, how and when data will be collected, and
what will happen to the data once it has been analyzed.
• A variety of data sources can be used to collect M&E data.

49. © Ministry of Science and Higher Education| Confidential
The importance of M&E
Monitoring and Evaluation is important because:
• it provides the only consolidated source of information showcasing
program progress;
• it allows actors in the sector to learn from each other’s experiences,
building on expertise and knowledge;
• it often generates (written) reports that contribute to transparency
and accountability, and allows for lessons to be shared more easily;
• it reveals mistakes and offers paths for learning and improvements;
• it provides a basis for questioning and testing assumptions;
• it provides a means for actors seeking to learn from each other’s
experiences and to incorporate them into policy and practice;
• it provides a way to assess the crucial link between implementers
and beneficiaries on the ground and decision-makers;
• it provides a more robust basis for raising funds and influencing
policy.

50. © Ministry of Science and Higher Education| Confidential
Strategies for M&E
• Establish a comprehensive TVET Management Information System
(TMIS) and data base used to manage different types of data in the
system.
• Translate the objectives of this policy and strategy into key
performance indicators (KPIs) and identify means of verification for
the indicators.
• Harmonize the TVET sector KPIs with the national development
indicators.
• Develop and implement standardized tools for monitoring and
evaluation of the TVET system.
• Prepare and implement monitoring and evaluation guideline and
make aware all concerned parties
• Establish a monitoring and evaluation mechanism at all levels to trace
implementation issues and take corrective actions.
