YAE has developed the Monitoring and Evaluation guideline/framework to enhance the effective monitoring mechanism within an organization and established a more systematic M&E system, which fulfils the requirement of different donors/projects like SIDA SCO strengthening project, ICI/GEF/IUCN projects for Biodiversity Conservation and so on.
