The Unit was upgraded to Division status in February, 2016 to strengthen and fully institutionalize the M and E system in recognition of the increasing importance of the M&E function to the work of the Ministry. The upgrade was also done in compliance with the Civil Service requirement that all Ministries should have a Monitoring and Evaluation Division.
