Well done Elias for this excellent contribution that I would have not been able to produce.
You summarize the situation perfectly and recommend exactly what to do. If some of the last contributions were somewhat prescriptive or even theoretical, yours is inspired by a practical experience. And that's what we're looking for as members in this kind of platform of interaction and exchange.
I had the opportunity to visit Benin in June 2014 as a World Bank consultant to support the national team implementing a 5-year community development program that began as Phase II of a similar project. I was surprised by the Government's efforts in its ambition to institutionalize Monitoring and Evaluation in all sectors; it was still the first years of the implementation of the 2012-2021 government policy that you mention in your contribution (at least, I imagine). I had the opportunity to visit several government ministries and found the existence of an M&E service that collated several data from the sector. During this period, not all the means were yet available but 6 years later, and to read to you now, I understand that we have in our hands a rather interesting experience that could inspire several countries, especially African but others as well, in order to become more practical in our recommendations and get our exchanges out from the normative and the theoretical.
Congratulations once again for this contribution and good luck for Benin.
