Abstract
This study is funded by the
Governance Partnership Facility to better understand country
experiences with building monitoring and evaluation
(M&E) capacity to identify paths to success and
obstacles to reform. For every country, whether recently
emerging from conflict, low-income, or Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), M&E is
critical to evidence-based policymaking, budget decisions,
management, and accountability, all elements of good
governance. Building M&E capacity in fragile and
conflict-affected states is not a well-documented topic,
although analysts generally agree that even in these
challenging contexts, countries can set up monitoring
capabilities, albeit with heavy donor support. This study
aims to strengthen the knowledge base by synthesizing and
comparing the experiences of Rwanda, Vietnam, and Yemen in
building capacity for their recently established M&E
systems. The study also draws comparisons with Mexico's
more well-developed M&E system. This paper is directed
to policymakers, development workers, donors, and other
supporters of M&E research, operations, and activities.
The author envision that providing country case studies on
implementing M&E programs in difficult circumstances
will contribute to a South-South knowledge exchange for key
stakeholders who are working to advance newly established
M&E systems in their own countries.
