Closing the evaluation cycle

Abstract

This paper argues that the incentives faced by different actors, and the way in which the evaluation function is organised in governments, can inhibit evaluation use. Three types of institutional arrangements for evaluation are identified in Latin America, and the advantages and challenges of the different models are discussed. Some examples of how countries have started to close the results-based management cycle under different arrangements are presented for Peru and Mexico.
