Abstract
Countries are driving the efforts to
institutionalize monitoring and evaluation (M&E)
systems. Through the promotion of knowledge-sharing, and by
taking stock of current M&E systems, fostering
South-South collaboration, raising awareness through
presentations, and, by launching an informal regional
network, the note reviews the cases of Colombia, Chile,
Brazil, Mexico and Peru. It became evident from country
experiences, that there is no single "destination"
for countries. Some stress a system of performance
indicators, while others focus on conducting evaluations
(program reviews or rigorous impact evaluation (IE). And
while some countries have created a whole of government
approach driven by finance, or planning ministries, others
are more focused on sector M&E systems. One key
characteristic of most of the systems that are now at
different stages of implementation in Latin America and the
Caribbean (LAC) is that they are country-led efforts to
institutionalize M&E, rather than donor-driven.
