Monitoring of actions
This framework is designed to provide the Group with the information they need to review and guide activity and monitor progress with Regional Workforce Plan implementation. The monitoring cycle includes high level updates at RSLG monthly meetings, quarterly strategic and focus area reviews (agreed through the Business Plan), and an annual report covering plan implementation.
Note that MBIE’s RSLG national secretariat team will commission independent monitoring and evaluation of the national RSLG programme, in line with the Ministry’s best practice requirements.
