Proceedings from the International Conference on National Evaluation Capacities Synopsis

The 2nd International Conference on National Evaluation Capacities held on 12 to 14 September 2011 in Johannesburg, South Africa, allowed nearly 100 participants to share experiences on use of evaluation for public policies and programmes from countries with different levels of development of national monitoring and evaluation systems, identifying lessons and constraints in implementing national monitoring and evaluation systems with a focus on use of evaluation, and identifying supply and demand for technical assistance in strengthening institutional capacity for national use of evaluation under the umbrella of South-South and triangular cooperation. This publication presents the major themes related to evaluation use for public policy and programmes, which were touched upon during the discussions.
