The Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation in the Presidency (DPME) partnered with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) to conduct a study on the state and use of M&E systems in the public service of South Africa.
The broad areas covered by the study included:
(1) The extent to which an enabling environment has been established (policy, staffing and other resources, management culture, systems)
(2) Specific systemic and design issues related to the use of M&E and its links to policy development, planning and management decision-making
(3) More detailed areas of practice, specifically the formulation and use of indicators and reporting.
