Section 3.4.1 describes the development of indicators and benchmarks in the sector strategy. Indicators should also be used to measure the relationship between individual activities or projects undertaken within the sectoral framework. The information gathered can then feed into the overall review process (see below).

Reviews are usually undertaken by joint donor / government teams at regular intervals. The findings feed into a process of adjustment of the strategy and the implementation process. From a conflict-sensitive perspective, it is important to ensure, in between these reviews, an ongoing monitoring of the implementation and impact of the activities as they relate to conflict. Donors and governments may need to develop information systems and mechanisms for gathering this information from the wide range of actors involved in the implementation process (see section 3.4.2 above).

The review process should be informed by:

• the information gathered in the ongoing monitoring exercise
• broad stakeholder consultation
• a process of updating the conflict analysis to allow for a comparison of the situation at the beginning of the activity and at the moment of the review.
