It is expected to serve the following functions:

a. a guide for Vision implementation and management, so that the leadership and members of the church understand the objectives and targets they are responsible for achieving, and are aware of their progress towards those objectives and targets during implementation; b. Explain in detail how the leadership of the church at all levels will monitor the implementation of planned actions to determine whether the intended outputs are achieved. c. Establish a process to alert leadership at all levels to any problems in the implementation of the Vision strategy and performance, and provide the basis for making the needed adjustments; and d. Provide a strategy for measuring longer term objectives (desired outcomes) over time through the evaluation design. 1 Monitoring involves setting targets, and measuring progress towards these targets. 2 Evaluation assesses whether the progress made is achieving the desired objectives. 52 The specific tools and processes that will be deployed as part of the “integrated monitoring and accountability approach” towards the smooth implementation of the Vision strategy shall include Annual Work Plan and Budget, Performance Monitoring Plan, Progress Reporting, Internal Performance Reviews, Beneficiary Contact Monitoring and an Evaluation Design.
