Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monitoring systems are essential to Africa’s development effectiveness. Too often, however, monitoring is a time consuming exercise that is done exclusively for compliance. When developed with an understanding of the context within which they are implemented, monitoring systems have the potential to provide an evidence base from which progress can be evaluated and informed decisions made. The establishment, implementation, and institutionalisation of monitoring systems is a nuanced process, shaped by the unique characteristics and culture of each organisation. While ‘how to guides’ on the subject are abundant, their focus is often technical, and they do not sufficiently consider how monitoring practice links to the context of governance and development in the region, and what role monitoring systems can play to strengthen processes of reform. Monitoring Systems in Africa balances a strong theoretical foundation in governance and development with a practical approach to asking some of the big-picture questions about why and how we could more effectively build and institutionalise systems for useful monitoring. Given the scale of resources already being invested in monitoring, taking a systemic view and theoretically informed approach to monitoring can support decision-making around compliance, accountability, development effectiveness, and performance.

Book excerpt: When decision-makers want to use evidence from monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems to assist them in making choices, there is definitively a demand for M&E. When there is great capacity to supply M&E information, but low capacity to demand quality evidence, the consequence is a mismatch between supply and demand. In this context, monitoring is look as evaluation. This article deals with this observation, and gives insights on the evidence related to the fact that African governments are developing stronger local demand for evidence generated from M&E research.The argument presented here is that demand for evidence is increasing, leading to further development of M&E researches, with monitoring being dominant over evaluation. As part of this dominance there are attempts to align monitoring systems to emerging local demand, whilst donor demands are still important in several countries. There is also evidence of increasing demand through government-led evaluation systems in few countries; South Africa, Uganda and Benin being the leaders. One of the main issues that this article notes is that the M&E systems are not yet conceptualised within a reform effort to introduce a comprehensive results-based orientation to the public services of these countries. Results concepts are not also yet consistently applied throughout the M&E systems in the case countries. In addition, the results-based notions that are applied appear to be generating perverse incentives that reinforce upward compliance and control to the detriment of more developmental uses of M&E evidence.

Book excerpt: The Africa Results Monitoring System (AfricaRMS) is a new tool for dynamic learning that monitors and reports data and stories of African development. It is meant to bolster the Africa Region's Results Agenda. AfricaRMS is a first-of-its kind system in the Bank, and the only website where anyone can see how the Bank spends, where and what is obtained from the spending, and where results are achieved. It offers a clear window into Bank work and a comprehensive view of country growth in Africa. This brief tells the story of AfricaRMS, how it's applied, its structure, about the team that built it, and partner's countries.

Book Synopsis Ghana's Poverty Monitoring System by : Sudharshan Canagarajah
Download or read book Ghana's Poverty Monitoring System written by Sudharshan Canagarajah and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The note features the particularly serious problem of poverty monitoring systems in Sub-Saharan Africa, namely through the case of Ghana, where in 1987, the first Living Standards Measurement Survey (LSMS) was conducted. It notes though, that over the years data collection in Ghana improved substantially, where recent LSMS data for the country, became the centerpiece of Consultative Group meetings, undoubtedly a "good practice" that deserves special mention. Lessons, and trends that facilitated the process address the increased upstream planning in data entry, data cleaning, and data analysis, in addition to capacity building, and training prior to launching surveys. Nonetheless, areas for further improvement still indicate prevailing institutional bottlenecks, and delays in the release of counterpart funds, which are conducive to weak procurement practices, aggravated by the continued, over-reliance on external consultants.

Book Synopsis The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020 by : Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Download or read book The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020 written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2020-07-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Updates for many countries have made it possible to estimate hunger in the world with greater accuracy this year. In particular, newly accessible data enabled the revision of the entire series of undernourishment estimates for China back to 2000, resulting in a substantial downward shift of the series of the number of undernourished in the world. Nevertheless, the revision confirms the trend reported in past editions: the number of people affected by hunger globally has been slowly on the rise since 2014. The report also shows that the burden of malnutrition in all its forms continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress for child stunting, low birthweight and exclusive breastfeeding, but at a pace that is still too slow. Childhood overweight is not improving and adult obesity is on the rise in all regions. The report complements the usual assessment of food security and nutrition with projections of what the world may look like in 2030, if trends of the last decade continue. Projections show that the world is not on track to achieve Zero Hunger by 2030 and, despite some progress, most indicators are also not on track to meet global nutrition targets. The food security and nutritional status of the most vulnerable population groups is likely to deteriorate further due to the health and socio economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The report puts a spotlight on diet quality as a critical link between food security and nutrition. Meeting SDG 2 targets will only be possible if people have enough food to eat and if what they are eating is nutritious and affordable. The report also introduces new analysis of the cost and affordability of healthy diets around the world, by region and in different development contexts. It presents valuations of the health and climate-change costs associated with current food consumption patterns, as well as the potential cost savings if food consumption patterns were to shift towards healthy diets that include sustainability considerations. The report then concludes with a discussion of the policies and strategies to transform food systems to ensure affordable healthy diets, as part of the required efforts to end both hunger and all forms of malnutrition.

Book Synopsis Using Evidence in Policy and Practice by : Ian Goldman
Download or read book Using Evidence in Policy and Practice written by Ian Goldman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-10 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book asks how governments in Africa can use evidence to improve their policies and programmes, and ultimately, to achieve positive change for their citizens. Looking at different evidence sources across a range of contexts, the book brings policy makers and researchers together to uncover what does and doesn’t work and why. Case studies are drawn from five countries and the ECOWAS (west African) region, and a range of sectors from education, wildlife, sanitation, through to government procurement processes. The book is supported by a range of policy briefs and videos intended to be both practical and critically rigorous. It uses evidence sources such as evaluations, research synthesis and citizen engagement to show how these cases succeeded in informing policy and practice. The voices of policy makers are key to the book, ensuring that the examples deployed are useful to practitioners and researchers alike. This innovative book will be perfect for policy makers, practitioners in government and civil society, and researchers and academics with an interest in how evidence can be used to support policy making in Africa.
