 Monitoring and Evaluation
System for Nab
• NAB wanted a monitoring and evaluation
framework to bring transparency and
accountability in its operations .
• The need for the system was originated from a
requirement laid down by the Secretary of
Law to see the total number of cases in each
case to track their progress.
• This system was proposed by the Supreme
Court of Pakistan
 Four Phases of the System
 Complaints: The first phase is the complaint
entry, followed by a complaint verification.
Ideally, a complaint is processed within two
months . The unprocessed complain can be seen
by graphical representation.
 Inquiry :The next step is inquiry, which should
be processed in four months. Again, the system
allows users to view the number of closed and
unresolved inquiries in the form of graphical
display.
 Investigation :In the investigation section, the
cases in question are investigated for further
processing, and it also takes the same amount of
time as inquiry, i.e., four months.
 Prosecution: In this phase, all the cases, facing
prosecution, can be seen. The percentage of
processed and unresolved cases is represented
on the same graphical display. Prosecution
phase is completed in two months’ time.
Awareness
 Conclusion

right to information is that it brings transparency
• Electronic and print media investigative reporting
must be strengthened and encouraged to report
corruption and corrupt practices
• Create strong institutional forums for whistle
blowing
