PROVINCIAL Governments and Service Delivery project provides provincial governments with electronic tablets to modernize monitoring and evaluation practice.
The upgrade with this cutting-edge tool means real-time data collection and analysis, ensuring more accurate and timely reports that are be vital for effective project management.
Tablets were handed over during a hands-on M&E training, during which technical provincial officers visited two sites in east Guadalcanal, putting their new skills to test.
Solomon Kalu, UNDP’s Inclusive Governance and Economic Growth Programme Specialist, hopes that this tech upgrade will benefit not just this project but all future initiatives implemented by the provincial governments.
By empowering provincial government officers to elevate their M&E capabilities, the PGSD project seeks to ultimately ensure that project activities are implemented and monitored to the highest standards, ultimately contributing to the realization of the National Development Strategy of the country and to the achievement of the sustainable development goals regarding improved service delivery for all communities.
The Provincial Governments and Service Delivery project (PGSD), implemented by UNDP and UNICEF in Solomon Islands and funded by the European Union in the Pacific, focuses on promoting inclusive, transparent, and accountable governance systems for sub-national service delivery. Through the PCDF mechanism, the project aims to disburse grants to improve health and education in the 9 provinces of Solomon Islands. The project also seeks to strengthen the government’s capacity at national and provincial level contributing to further develop the country´s decentralization process.
