A diagnostic guide and action framework
Mackay, Keith
This guide is intended to assist government, and development agencies in developing a national, or sectoral evaluation capacity system, as appropriate to each country's needs, and, provides a detailed checklist of issues to be considered in developing a country's evaluation capacity. The guide is organized into separate, but related steps, to identify evaluation capacity development (ECD) options, and develop action plans. Those steps involve: identification of key ministries, and other agencies, who govern performance management; diagnosis of the public sector environment in which individual ministries, and public servants work, encompassing issues such as public sector ethics, incentives, and the possible existence of corruption; development of an understanding of factors, influencing budgetary, and management decisions at ministerial levels; determination of the extent of existing demand within government, for measuring the performance of government activities; assessment of the evaluation activities, and capabilities of central, and line ministries; consideration of the evaluation activities of multilateral, and bilateral development assistance agencies in the country; identification of major recent public sector reforms, particularly those affecting performance management, and measurement; mapping of options for developing ECD; and, preparation of a realistic ECD action plan.
