The Department of Special Projects Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital (UCTH) is dedicated to overseeing and assessing the progress and impact of various healthcare-related projects within the institution. Its primary responsibility is to ensure that special projects, whether funded by the government, donors, or the hospital itself, are executed efficiently, within budget, and in line with the defined objectives. The department collects data, monitors project implementation, and evaluates outcomes to ensure that healthcare interventions meet their intended goals, enhance service delivery, and improve patient care. By providing timely reports and feedback, it helps stakeholders make informed decisions for better project outcomes.
Furthermore, the Department of Special Projects M&E plays a vital role in promoting accountability and transparency within UCTH. It ensures that projects adhere to regulatory standards and institutional policies while identifying areas for improvement. Through its rigorous monitoring and evaluation processes, the department fosters a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging the adoption of best practices and evidence-based decision-making. The department works collaboratively with project teams, ensuring that corrective actions are taken where necessary and that lessons learned from past projects inform future planning and implementation efforts, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of healthcare services at UCTH.
