Reporting on a monthly basis can certainly represent a significant workload for the officials. I understand that my colleague is suggesting that the report be submitted on a biannual basis. If it is, the collection of data will not represent a huge workload for the officials.
Is there not a way of splitting the difference? That way, officials would not have to spend their time collecting data and would not have to collect a massive amount of data. So I ask my colleagues if they are willing to find a balance between “monthly” and “biannual.”
