8.6 Monitoring and Evaluation<br />
The measurement <strong>of</strong> progress in the attainment <strong>of</strong> these goals and objectives will<br />
require policy change and formulation and the development and maintenance <strong>of</strong> a<br />
planning, evaluation, monitoring and research component within the De<strong>part</strong>ment. The<br />
support and upgrade <strong>of</strong> the EMIS section will ensure a strong and reliable data source is<br />
available to track and support the transformation process.<br />
9. INFORMATION SYSTEMS TO MONITOR PROGRESS<br />
Information systems to monitor progress are divided into three main components –<br />
financial information systems, operational information systems and information reporting<br />
systems. All these systems are computerised. But, in addition to the computerised<br />
information that is made available through these well established and routine IT systems<br />
in Government, the De<strong>part</strong>ment has put in place its own structures for research<br />
monitoring, evaluation and reporting. Together these systems and structures constitute<br />
the basic facilities for monitoring progress. Each is reviewed briefly below.<br />
9.1 Financial Information Systems<br />
The De<strong>part</strong>ment operates the National Treasury’s transversal systems <strong>of</strong> Persal, BAS<br />
and Logis systems for personnel and salary administration, accounting, and ordering<br />
and stores management. The Logis and BAS systems now have an interface, which<br />
means that transaction information initiated in the Logis system is transferred directly to<br />
the BAS system without the need for again capturing the data. Logis is now a web-based<br />
system. An interface also operates between the Persal and BAS systems.<br />
