The document discusses DevInfo, a software tool developed by the United Nations to help countries develop their own monitoring and evaluation databases. It provides examples of DevInfo databases that have been established in different regions to monitor development goals and indicators at the national and sub-national levels. These include databases in Bulgaria, Belarus, Serbia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and several other Central and Eastern European, Central Asian, and Western Balkan countries. The databases contain health, education, gender, poverty and other demographic and socioeconomic indicators to help governments with planning and monitoring progress.
