Background and Initial Situation
• The National Monitoring and Evaluation System exists since 1992. It has a strong and properly-developed monitoring component. Also, the institutionalization of effect/impact oriented-evaluations could provide the SINE with a much more strategic orientation
• There is great demand in public institutions to strengthen M&E systems for results-based management
• A Master’s Degree on Evaluation (UCR) and a portfolio of trainings in evaluation are in place. They are, however, insufficient
• There are very few systematic evaluations, commissioned by public institutions

Lessons learned
The strengthening of evaluation capacities, nationally, is a change process that is both technical as well as political. Political support is crucial
Advance under the “learning by doing” concept; manage to actively involve the institutions that are subject to evaluations
Success factor: Public – Academic Partnership: necessary in order to reach a training and advisory offer that meets the Public Sector’s needs
Challenges: Securing the resources in the institutional budgets. What is spent in evaluation should not be viewed as a cost, but as savings (program improvement and public resources use)
Decrease the “phantom” of evaluation and install evaluation as an insturment for improvement and learning
