BEIS monitoring and evaluation framework

Details

This framework outlines the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy’s (BEIS) vision for proportionate, good quality monitoring and evaluation of its policies and programmes across the department and its partner organisations, to inform delivery improvement, policy options and decisions.

There are 5 elements to the framework vision:

1. Comprehensive monitoring and evaluation coverage across all policies and programmes in BEIS and its partner organisations.

2. Firmly embed monitoring and evaluation into structures and governance processes to ensure proportionate monitoring and evaluation is delivered, even in challenging circumstances.

3. Build policy, project delivery and analytical monitoring and evaluation capacity and capability.

4. Facilitate a positive learning culture across BEIS where lessons from monitoring and evaluation inform policy decisions and delivery, and future monitoring and evaluation design.

5. Maintain independent and transparent quality assurance of evaluation findings, so that stakeholders can have confidence in the findings generated from monitoring and evaluation of BEIS policies.

The framework summarises how monitoring is used in BEIS, the types of evaluation used, the standards expected in the department, monitoring and evaluation governance procedures, and analytical processes.
