| Summary: | Countries from all over the world have
shown an interest in Australia's experience in creating
a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system that supports
evidence-based decision making and performance-based
budgeting. The Australian M and E system in existence from
1987-97 was generally considered to be one of the most
successful and was driven by the federal Department of
Finance (DoF). This note discusses the genesis,
characteristics, and success of this particular system and
briefly considers the Australian government's approach
to M and E after the system was abolished. The contrast
between these two periods provides many valuable insights
into success factors and challenges facing successful M and
E systems, and into implementing evidence-based decision
making more broadly. |
