Rationale for M&E

M&E is a cross-cutting function in the NRF and the services provided by the NRF M&E unit focus on:

  • the evaluation and rating of individual researchers.
  • the review of programmes, disciplines and initiatives across the scientific disciplines (for external and internal stakeholders),
  • using datasets emanating from the above to provide strategic information, and
  • advice on developing monitoring frameworks for RISA programmes.

Current scope of M&E

  • Evaluation and rating of individual researchers at Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and approved research entities,
  • reviews of internal and external programmes/initiatives, and
  • provision of evaluation and rating data to support strategic decision- making in the NRF.
