Between 13-15 May 2024, the second Monitoring and Evaluation Operational Tool (M&E OT) workshop took place in Rabat to pilot the M&E OT and develop coordinated M&E capacity for One Health stakeholders in Morocco.

Sixteen participants from the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, the National Office of Food Safety, and the National Agency for Water and Forests attended, along with the One Health-Maroc Association president. Six representatives from FAO, WHO, and WOAH facilitated both in-person and online.

Participants gained a solid understanding of the M&E OT, applying it within the context of their country's needs. They drafted a customized M&E framework covering three technical areas: Multisectoral Coordination Mechanisms; Risk Reduction, Risk Communication and Community Engagement; and Surveillance and Information Sharing.

This framework included a total of 21 country-specific indicators, developed using the M&E OT indicator library. Participants were trained in completing the Indicator Matrix and utilizing the Data Collection Tool. The M&E OT received favorable reviews, affirming its readiness for finalization.

Next steps include incorporating M&E OT methodologies in existing and M&E processes and training colleagues on the tool’s use.
