Approaches to the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of policy influencing activities has been recognized as one of the pillars for Rwanda to improve policy implementation during the second phase of the Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI 2) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SGCI).
Rwanda’s National Council of Science and Technology (NCST)is considering to develop a Monitoring and Evaluation Plan in various domains they believe will help the government improve policy implementation as an essential element to drive the transformation of the country to a knowledge-based economy.
During the implementation phase, a group of researchers have received grants from the university in the past with the support of Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI) In Sub-Saharan Africa.
