Every few years M&E is rediscovered as the missing or weakest link in international development cooperation. Words like ‘accountability’ and ‘learning’ are banded about and solemn promises are made that this time it will all be different.
In this issue of Ontrac our theme is ‘Rethinking M&E’. Brian Pratt analyses the policy shift towards managerial values in monitoring and evaluation, Anne Garbutt describes how nascent CSOs in Oman welcomed the logframe’s structure and clarity, whilst numbers are contrasted with stories in Nomvula Dlamini’s M&E experience from South Africa. Lastly Alix Tiernan calls for a paradigm shift to build learning into the programme cycle of NGOs and Katie Wright-Revolledo sets out the steps for linking quantitative data and qualitative methods in QUIP. Also, read about INTRAC’s latest book, ‘Rethinking M&E – Challenges and Prospects in the Changing Aid Environment’.
