A comprehensive Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework shall be developed to determine the long-term impact and outcome of the strategy across all sectors based on periodic reviews (which would include a midterm review at the 3 year milestone and a long term review at the 5 year milestone). The M&E framework shall consider the following areas:  Alignment to Government of Botswana performance assessment approach;  Use of an external evaluator to undertake the long-term impact assessment (at 5 years); and  Assessment of the progress towards attainment of level 5 of the Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model. The key elements of the M&E approaches are:  Setting performance targets for various ministerial or governmental departments, groups or individuals responsible for specific aspects or actions of the strategy;  Establishing performance plans which establish a common understanding of what is to be achieved, how it is to be achieved and managing resources to guarantee success in implementation;  Monitoring and reporting performance;  Evaluating departments, groups or individual performance against established performance targets. 37 | P a g e National Cybersecurity Strategy
