According to the UN, „data monitoring is an ongoing process by which stakeholders obtain regular feedback on the progress being made toward achieving their goals and objectives“. It is a continuous endeavour, requiring constant data collection and feedback. The main purpose is to enable the learning process and informed reflection, which is the very heart of SPEAR’s CoL and CoP sessions.
Data is empirical evidence suggesting clearly where and how an institution needs to change the approach to accomplish the goals. Also, any deviation might be highlighted through data monitoring, with the possibility to adopt novel measures along the process.
