The importance of monitoring and evaluation for mental health service planning and delivery is indubitable. Notwithstanding, monitoring and evaluation of mental health policy and plans has received only limited attention. This paper presents an approach developed by the World Health Organization for monitoring mental health policy and plans that can be adapted and utilized for evaluation and monitoring of policy and plans in most other health spheres as well. Four critical areas are outlined i.e., evaluation of the policy document and the plan derived from it; monitoring the implementation of the strategic plan; evaluation of the implementation of the plan; and evaluation of whether the objectives of the policy have been achieved. Overcoming difficulties in objective assessment of policy documents and plans is discussed and two WHO checklists for evaluating the process, content and operational aspects of policies and plans are introduced together with a five step guidance process for conducting policy and plan evaluations.
监测和评估对于心理健康服务规划和提供至关重要。然而，心理健康政策和计划的监测和评估仅受到有限关注。本文介绍了世界卫生组织开发的一种监测心理健康政策和计划的方法，该方法也可以适应和用于评估和监测大多数其他卫生领域的政策和计划。概述了四个关键领域，即评估政策文件及其衍生计划；监测战略计划的实施情况；评估计划的实施情况；评估政策目标是否实现。讨论了政策文件和计划的客观评估中的困难，并介绍了世卫组织用于评估政策和计划的过程、内容和运作方面的两个检查表，以及用于进行政策和计划评估的五步指导流程。
