LATE SUBMISSIONS

Missing Data

Errors

Tampering with targets

Change of M&E Officers

RFU (AAU) will provide technical assistance where necessary to ensure accurate reporting and validity of data

RFU (AAU) proposes ACEs to report quarterly to allow time for “damage control”

All data submitted will be verified by the RFU (AAU) and an independent third party

Data on research publications and accreditation will be verified from Elsevier data bases and accreditation agencies

Verification will involve interactions with stakeholders including students

REMEDIAL MEASURES

TIMELINES & NEXT STEPS

1. M&E Workshop to discuss reports and issues

2. Work with ACEs to fine-tune reports

3. Submission of individual and global M&E reports to WB in December 2015

4. Work with independent Consultant on verification of results submitted

Details and other related issues to be discussed

during M&E parallel session.
