This example shows how one national government strengthened its M & E systems. The Tanzanian government worked with the Centre for Learning on Evaluation and Results for Anglophone Africa (CLEAR-AA), each organisation committing to a long-term collaboration to build an M&E system through co-creation and technical assistance.
Key steps in the process were:
-
Undertaking a Monitoring and Evaluation Systems Analysis (MESA) to identify existing processes and resources, strengths and gaps.
-
Establishing a Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Division within the Prime Minister’s Office to coordinate M&E across the government.
-
Drafting a national evaluation manual and plan.
-
Conducting capacity-building workshops for government officials to develop practical M&E skills.
An early win of this program was the government-led evaluation of Agricultural Sector Development Programme Phase Two (ASDP II).
