What are the differences between monitoring and Supervision?

Monitoring involves the systematic collection and analysis of data to assess performance, progress, or compliance with established standards. It is typically more focused on quantitative metrics and ongoing assessment. Supervision, on the other hand, involves direct oversight and guidance, often emphasizing qualitative aspects such as support, mentorship, and ensuring adherence to practices or protocols. While monitoring tracks outcomes, supervision actively engages in the processes to facilitate improvement and development.
