The systematic collection, analysis and use of information from programs for three basic purposes: (1) Learning from the experiences acquired (learning function); (2) Accounting internally and externally for the resources used; and the results obtained (monitoring function) and (3) taking decisions (steering function)
Evaluation
Assessing an ongoing or completed program or policy as systematically and as objectively as possible
M&E Purpose
The primary aim is to have a strong M&E and review system in place for the health system that comprises all major disease programs and health systems
M&E Plan
The national M&E plan and system should address all components of the framework and lay the foundation for regular reviews during the implementation of the national plan
Progress
Monitoring reports
HMIS
Surveys
Evaluation Studies
M&E Framework
The core is the strengthening of a common country platform for M&E of HSS, which should result in better alignment of country and global M&E systems and can be used both for monitoring: (1) health systems funding platform, (2) tracking the performance of specific programs
IHME
A global initiative that aims to improve the effectiveness of development assistance in the health sector
The World Health Organization's M&E of Health Systems Strengthening Framework presents the indicator domains and considerations for data collection, synthesis and use along the pathway for achieving health impact at scale
The Common framework for monitoring performance and evaluating progress in the scale-up for better health
Indicator
A variable whose value changes, measures the value of the change in meaningful units that can be compared to past and future units, and focuses on a single aspect of a program or project – i.e., an input, output or the overarching objective

HIV/AIDS Program
The STOP TB Program's vision is to have a TB free world, and its goal is to dramatically reduce the global burden of TB by 2015, in line with the Millennium Development Goals and the Stop TB Partnership targets of the World Health Organization (2006)
The Philippines's updated Strategic TB Elimination Plan (PhilSTEP I) 2020-23 aims to achieve a 50% reduction in TB mortality and 12% reduction in TB incidence by 2023
