“Using this application, the ministry sees a real-time report of activities of the independent monitors on the field. We can view reports submitted and see the NSIP performance indicators by state and detect areas of challenges.
“This will provide greater visibility to the ministry and equip us with information to follow up with implementation happening at the state level,” she said.
Ms Farouq said the monitors would report to the ministry all its NSIPs. These include the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme, N-Power, Conditional Cash Transfer, and the National Home Grown School Feeding Programme NHGSFP.
