Today the world’s politics and economy are driven by science and technology. The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, HIV epidemic, global market policies, internet governance etc require analytical tools for effective evaluation. So the question is: can monitoring and evaluation measure and keep up with the advent of the science and technology era?
Innovation has brought the world to this level of development. Therefore, innovative methodologies and data science applied in science and technology should also be used for monitoring and evaluating the progress of programs and outcomes.
More so, research should help evaluation to be a more analytical tool for implementation strategies. Since evaluation is science-oriented because it uses research methodologies and because of its purpose to bring improvement, evaluation should be able to generate innovative ideas and concepts for the global economy perspective.
Therefore, the importance and roles of evaluation in science and technology and programmes implementation and outcomes should be emphasized in the guidelines
