The ESA Commitment Accountability Framework
After the affirmation of the ESA Commitment, governments and partners agreed on an accountability mechanism, which included a Regional Accountability Framework (RAF), with clear time-bound targets, means of verification and data sources. Targets were categorised into process and outcome targets. Other elements of the accountability mechanism, were a high-level group, a technical coordinating group, and a civil society platform at the regional level. Country-level accountability mechanisms included multi-sectoral technical working groups.
Technical and Coordinating Group
At Country Level
With Support from Development Partners
Ministers Agreed to
Institutionalize monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems in their respective ministries and improve the collection of age- and sex-disaggregated data through existing M&E mechanisms, such as Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) and Health Management Information systems (HMIS). These will be supplemented by periodic adolescent and youth surveys on the education and health status of adolescents and young people.
