Abstract
Many governments in the Latin America
and Caribbean region (LAC) have gained an increased
understanding of the value of M&E to help both
governments and donors alike better understand what public
investments and interventions work well, which do not, and
the reasons why. Monitoring the performance of public
programs and institutions helps increase their
effectiveness, provides increased accountability and
transparency in how public monies are used, and can inform
the budgetary process and the allocation of public
resources, thus improving their effectiveness to improve
welfare and, consequently, reduce poverty and increase the
equality of opportunities.
