| Summary: | This note examines key stages of
national monitoring and evaluation systems’ (NMESs)
development in different country contexts and argues for
tailored approaches to building M and E capacities. The
development of NMESs rests on four building blocks - vision
of leadership, an enabling environment, capacity to supply
and analyze M and E information, and capacity to demand and
use M and E information. Developing countries can differ
significantly in their performance along these four
dimensions - some have virtually no NMES, while others are
at a much more advanced stage where reliable and timely M
and E information is generated and used. Most developing
countries likely fall in between. Using the example of five
African countries, this note discusses the differences and
similarities in capacity-building needs for countries at
different levels of NMES development. |
