Abstract
To provide consistency and repeatability for measurement and evaluation (M&E) projects and programs a well-established M&E strategy is needed. In a previous work, we have discussed the benefits of having an integrated M&E strategy that relies on three capabilities such as an M&E conceptual framework, process and method specifications. Besides, we have developed GOCAME (Goal-Oriented Context-Aware Measurement and Evaluation) as an integrated M&E strategy which supports these capabilities. In the present work, we enhance its former conceptual framework with the recently built process ontology, enriching also the M&E terms with stereotypes stemming from the process conceptual base. The augmented conceptual framework has also a positive impact on the other strategy capabilities since ensures terminological uniformity and testability to process and method specifications. For illustration purposes, excerpts of process specifications regarding the new situation are highlighted.
