The Bank's shareholders and
stakeholders are increasingly demanding better
accountability for results and progress toward achieving the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In response, the
various reforms and initiatives toward an enhanced results
orientation have increased in prominence, yet actual
progress has lagged. The purpose of the study was to provide
an assessment of results monitoring in the Africa Health,
Nutrition and Population (HNP) portfolio. The report focuses
on results monitoring and less on evaluation, because
tracking results is one of the most basic requirements to
improve accountability for results and a key precursor to
evaluation. The study combined quantitative and qualitative
techniques. The quantitative analysis assessed the design of
results frameworks, its implementation and use in all 52
active Africa HNP projects; the qualitative assessment
surveyed the experiences of task team leaders (TTLs) and
aimed to identify some incentives, as well as some
innovative and strategic actions, to improve results
monitoring. Only 17 percent of data collection plans were
mostly, implemented and those projects with data were more
likely to discuss progress and make reference to data in
deciding on ratings. The extent to which data collection
plans were implemented had a direct relationship with the
number of indicators in the design. The implementation of
data collection plans also determined the extent to which
there is any discussion of results in the Implementation
Status and Results Report (ISR) and use of evidence used to
underpin the ratings used to track project performance.
Although assessments of capacity in results monitoring and
evaluation were conducted in only a quarter of projects,
most projects planned to support capacity building. There
was however deficiencies in the extent to which the planned
support were executed. |
