Devising an Appropriate Strategy for Capacity Building of a National Monitoring and Evaluation System : Lessons from Selected African Countries

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...
