Bureau. We are responsible for translating public health policies into actionable, costed strategic plans, tracking performance against regional and national targets, and fostering a culture of data-driven decision-making across all health facilities.\n <\/p>\n\n <h2>Our Mandate<\/h2>\n <p>\n Our mandate is to ensure that every health intervention is backed by a robust plan, an adequate budget, and a rigorous monitoring framework. We coordinate the Bureau's annual planning cycle, manage the Health Management Information System (HMIS) data utilization, and oversee the implementation of Community-Based Health Insurance (CBHI). Through objective evaluation, we identify performance gaps and guide resource allocation to maximize health outcomes.\n <\/p>\n\n <h2>Strategic Objectives<\/h2>\n <ul>\n <li>Develop comprehensive annual and multi-year strategic health plans aligned with national priorities.<\/li>\n <li>Implement robust Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) frameworks to track service delivery and health impacts.<\/li>\n <li>Ensure efficient and transparent budget planning, execution, and financial tracking.<\/li>\n <li>Strengthen the use of data from the HMIS for continuous quality improvement at all levels of care.<\/li>\n <li>Expand and stabilize the Community-Based Health Insurance (CBHI) scheme to ensure financial risk protection.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <h2>Key Programs & Services<\/h2>\n <p>To achieve our mandate, the directorate oversees four specialized units critical to the Bureau's operational intelligence:<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"program-block\">\n <h3>Planning Unit<\/h3>\n <p>Leads the bureau\u2019s strategic planning processes. This unit compiles annual work plans from all directorates and facilities, ensuring alignment with the regional health sector transformation agenda and available resources.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"program-block\">\n <h3>Budget Unit<\/h3>\n <p>Works closely with the Finance Directorate and regional budget bureau to allocate, disburse, and track financial resources. The unit ensures that operational plans are fully costed and financially feasible.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"program-block\">\n <h3>Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Unit<\/h3>\n <p>Designs M&E frameworks, conducts routine supportive supervision, and analyzes HMIS data. The team produces quarterly performance review reports, identifying bottlenecks and recommending corrective actions to the Bureau Head.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"program-block\">\n <h3>CBHI Coordination Unit<\/h3>\n <p>Coordinates the Community-Based Health Insurance scheme. This unit oversees member enrollment, premium collection, and accreditation of healthcare providers, working to expand universal health coverage across Dire Dawa's kebeles.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <section class=\"leadership-section\">\n <h2>Directorate Leadership<\/h2>\n \n <div class=\"profile__card\">\n <div class=\"profile__image-frame\">\n <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/picsum.photos\/seed\/dawit-bekele-director\/400\/400\" alt=\"Mr. Alemayehu Girma\">\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"profile__bio\">\n <span class=\"profile__role\">Director<\/span>\n <h3>Mr. Alemayehu Girma<\/h3>\n \n <p>\n Mr. Alemayehu Girma brings over 12 years of experience in health economics, public policy, and monitoring & evaluation.

<h1>Plan, Monitoring & Evaluation Directorate<\/h1>\n \n <p>\n The Plan, Monitoring & Evaluation (PM&E) Directorate is the strategic hub of the Dire Dawa Health Bureau. We are responsible for translating public health policies into actionable, costed strategic plans, tracking performance against regional and national targets, and fostering a culture of data-driven decision-making across all health facilities.\n <\/p>\n\n <h2>Our Mandate<\/h2>\n <p>\n Our mandate is to ensure that every health intervention is backed by a robust plan, an adequate budget, and a rigorous monitoring framework. We coordinate the Bureau's annual planning cycle, manage the Health Management Information System (HMIS) data utilization, and oversee the implementation of Community-Based Health Insurance (CBHI). Through objective evaluation, we identify performance gaps and guide resource allocation to maximize health outcomes.\n <\/p>\n\n <h2>Strategic Objectives<\/h2>\n <ul>\n <li>Develop comprehensive annual and multi-year strategic health plans aligned with national priorities.<\/li>\n <li>Implement robust Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) frameworks to track service delivery and health impacts.<\/li>\n <li>Ensure efficient and transparent budget planning, execution, and financial tracking.<\/li>\n <li>Strengthen the use of data from the HMIS for continuous quality improvement at all levels of care.<\/li>\n <li>Expand and stabilize the Community-Based Health Insurance (CBHI) scheme to ensure financial risk protection.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n\n <h2>Key Programs & Services<\/h2>\n <p>To achieve our mandate, the directorate oversees four specialized units critical to the Bureau's operational intelligence:<\/p>\n\n <div class=\"program-block\">\n <h3>Planning Unit<\/h3>\n <p>Leads the bureau\u2019s strategic planning processes.
