Abstract
Policy makers and program managers are
faced every day with major decisions resulting from
insufficient funding, ongoing complaints about service
delivery, unmet needs among different population groups, and
limited results on the ground. There is a menu of evaluation
types implemented by developing and Organization for
Economic Co-operation Development (OECD) countries to tackle
a wide range of policy and program management issues,
considering time, resources and capacity constraints.
International experience highlights the importance of a
gradual approach when introducing evaluation tools into
country-level monitoring and evaluation (M and E) systems.
Different paths may work better for different countries
depending on the main purpose of their M and E system,
existing institutional capacity, the availability of funds,
and external technical assistance.
