F. Monitoring and Evaluation of R&D Performance, Outcomes,

Effects and Impacts

The evaluation of R&D performance is quite difficult to evaluate due to the complexity of
research and development programs, the period of evaluation as research extends for more
than one semester, and the variation of researches according to research category. Though the
performances of the research staff in the R&D services are complicated, Figure 4 provides the
framework of the various program elements and the environment of R&D for M&E. A closer look
at this framework shall prove helpful.
