Dear Mr Djimé

the availability of resources for the functioning of the monitoring-evaluation system is still a challenge. However, it should be noted that monitoring-evaluation, like communication and coordination, remains cross-cutting to the different components of a project, programme or policy for efficiency in implementation. Thus, in the budget planning of the components, a provisional line must always be introduced for the cross-cutting components in order to have availability for their functions. Today, in many donor frameworks, this line is foreseen. However it is as a real challenge for public programmes and projects, which unfortunately do not give much importance to monitoring and evaluation...
