| Summary: | The paper seeks to provide a basis for
identifying common issues, and operational synergies between
monitoring, and evaluation capacity development (MECD), and
governance in Sub-Saharan Africa. It summarizes experiences,
and lessons from governance support in the region, and their
implications for MECD work, and common issues, and,
modalities between governance support, and MECD. In
addition, the paper analyzes opportunities to maximize
synergies between MECD, and broader governance capacity
building efforts in Sub-Saharan Africa, and suggests
implications from experience in evaluation support. The
paper emphasizes that future interventions should focus on
the quality of leadership for reform, and local capacity to
design, and implement those reform programs. Furthermore,
accountability as it relates to the level of corruption in
the public sector should be taken into account, addressing
the need for decentralized capacity building, as well as
centralized forms of governance. Cases studies in specific
countries illustrate promising interventions in governance reform. |
