In the previous CAMP 28 monitoring activities to measure the success of strategies implementation in FMU 10 need to be done by the field staff and relevant government agencies involved. These monitoring activities could be further identified through the timing and frequency of measuring them. The timing and frequencies involved are weekly, monthly, as necessary, quarterly, bi-annually and annually.
