Thanks for sharing this useful information from the ICED newsletter.
There seems to be a lot of evidence on how to establish a robust M&E system for better policy and practice.
There is need for evidence in a similar manner, on how best to determine whether the robust M&E system that has been established actually betters policy and practice.
That is how the discussion on how to measure the impact of M&E system outcomes on policy and practice comes in. The idea is that we should be able to establish the changes that M&E outcomes have contributed to. This contribution to changes of M&E could then be approximated to be its impact.
There is also need for clarity on what a robust M&E system is. The robustness of M&E system could be out of what the M&E outcomes do such as degree at which it can influence or inform better policy and practice.
