Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is vital in helping the government understand what works and what doesn’t work from its interventions and therefore improves the design and implementation of future ones. It enables the department to understand when and how its objectives and goals are achieved. Ultimately, M&E seeks to understand and improve DCMS’s work and impact on the ground. DCMS’s M&E Strategy further develops a culture in which M&E evidence is integral to decision making for strategy, policy and programme development. It details how the department will continue to promote, prioritise, monitor and enforce stronger standards of quality in evaluation.
