Management and monitoring tools

The AIGDD implements tools designed to structure the work of teams, ensure effective management and enhance the reliability of the information used in decision-making. These tools cover everything from planning and monitoring activities to risk management, reporting, monitoring and evaluation, and data quality.

Depending on requirements, these may take the form of results frameworks, responsibility matrices, risk registers, dashboards, report templates, monitoring and evaluation plans, control protocols or data governance mechanisms. Their usefulness depends on their integration into the organisation’s actual processes and on their ability to produce actionable information at the appropriate decision-making level.

Data management complements this framework with rules governing collection, validation, traceability, security and access. This organisational structure minimises inconsistencies, improves the quality of reporting and enhances the reliability of the information used to monitor programmes and report on their performance.

The tools utilised by the AIGDD are designed as management and decision-making instruments, rather than merely as administrative aids.
