Measuring what works, learning from what doesn't, and continuously improving performance.
Monitoring and Evaluation is the accountability and learning engine of the Kenya AA programme. Without rigorous M&E, it is impossible to know whether early actions are reaching intended beneficiaries, whether triggers are calibrated correctly, or whether the programme represents value for money.
This pillar establishes the frameworks, systems, and processes needed to track AA programme performance from forecast accuracy through to household-level impact. Data collected feeds directly into programme adaptation, trigger refinement, and evidence-building for scale-up.
Real-time monitoring during activations is combined with structured after-action reviews and longitudinal impact evaluations to build a comprehensive, multi-layered evidence base that serves both programme management and the global AA community of practice.
Establish digital monitoring systems that track AA activation status, beneficiary reach, and disbursement progress in real time during active response windows.
Design and implement rigorous impact evaluations — including control group comparisons — to generate credible causal evidence on AA intervention effectiveness.
Build structured after-action review processes that systematically capture lessons and feed them into iterative improvements to AA protocols and delivery mechanisms.
Maintain transparent reporting to donors, government, and affected communities on programme reach, quality, and outcomes — supporting accountability at all levels.
Developing a comprehensive results framework with output, outcome, and impact indicators covering all seven AA pillars — enabling coherent programme-wide performance tracking.
Deploying mobile-based data collection tools for real-time field monitoring during AA activations, with automated dashboards for programme managers and donors.
Conducting structured after-action reviews within 30 days of every AA activation, documenting what worked, what failed, and what protocol adjustments are warranted.
Commissioning independent panel surveys and PDM studies to measure the counterfactual impact of AA interventions on asset preservation, food security, and income.
Facilitating annual multi-stakeholder learning reviews that synthesise M&E findings across all pillars and share evidence with global AA networks and policy forums.
