Strengthening and measuring monitoring and evaluation capacity in selected African programmes

Strengthening and measuring monitoring and evaluation capacity in selected African programmes

This article aims to improve the effectiveness and impact of these capacity strengthening initiatives across Africa. The study adopted a qualitative research approach, specifically using semi-structured interviews to gain an in-depth understanding of capacity-strengthening approaches and how capacity strengthening activities are measured. This study found that M&E capacity strengthening in the selected countries is ad hoc, indiscriminate, haphazard and mainly focuses on developing individual skills and abilities.
