【 摘 要 】

This study is funded by theGovernance Partnership Facility to better understand countryexperiences with building monitoring and evaluation(M&E) capacity to identify paths to success andobstacles to reform. For every country, whether recentlyemerging from conflict, low-income, or Organization forEconomic Cooperation and Development (OECD), M&E iscritical to evidence-based policymaking, budget decisions,management, and accountability, all elements of goodgovernance. Building M&E capacity in fragile andconflict-affected states is not a well-documented topic,although analysts generally agree that even in thesechallenging contexts, countries can set up monitoringcapabilities, albeit with heavy donor support. This studyaims to strengthen the knowledge base by synthesizing andcomparing the experiences of Rwanda, Vietnam, and Yemen inbuilding capacity for their recently established M&Esystems. The study also draws comparisons with Mexico'smore well-developed M&E system. This paper is directedto policymakers, development workers, donors, and othersupporters of M&E research, operations, and activities.The author envision that providing country case studies onimplementing M&E programs in difficult circumstanceswill contribute to a South-South knowledge exchange for keystakeholders who are working to advance newly establishedM&E systems in their own countries.
