Based on more than two decades of experience of Government Watch (G-Watch), simple and easy-to-use monitoring tools enable civil society to monitor government policies, programs and services. Monitoring tools make a highly technical process of monitoring accessible to and doable for citizens, allowing them to check whether standards set in government’s policies and plans are followed in the actual implementation and facilitating their generation of actionable evidence that inform their advocacies and proposed actions to governments.
