Abstract

Effective and efficient veterinary services in implementing specific disease control measures and disease surveillance, entails monitoring and evaluation system to be integrated into its budgeted policy framework and strategic plan, a system that keeps the directorate of veterinary services in a mode of action-reflection-action. The guiding principles for the envisaged monitoring and evaluation should include, identification and establishment of veterinary services baseline data; adaptation of result-based decisions and management. While it address measurement of performance, data collection and analysis, reporting, reviews and institutional arrangement. The operationalization of monitoring and evaluation framework for the directorate of veterinary services is to be based on the logical approach of inputs, process, output, outcomes and impact indicators. The collected data on each indicator should be analyzed and summarized in the progress reports of the directorate and be reviewed periodically. However, veterinary health projects and nongovernmental organizations should develop their own indicators in a logical frame. Standard data collection and reporting system have to be developed by key stakeholders, however, animal health survey may be disaggregated. Monitoring and evaluation framework for veterinary policy identifies sources for data generation. It suggest that in absence of baseline data, a pilot survey may be undertaken, and that veterinary policy may be assessed under a join implementation review, animal health expenditure review, budgetary and development fund reviews. However, the envisaged monitoring and evaluation framework emphasizes duties and responsibilities of the directorate of veterinary services in generating a quality data, and in establishment of a unit for veterinary statistic which fosters information culture and promote information demand. Furthermore, it undertake progress review, effect prediction and identification of essential policy adjustment, as well as, it measures progress and it determine as to whether veterinary services and animal health actors are meeting their goals or not.
