Ways of supporting NEC/S
TA / South-South Cooperation
•
Some countries’ NES/Cs are more advanced
•
Heterogenity of NECs
•
Differences and similarities of country contexts
Diagnosis
(using the NES/NEC matrix)
Lines of Action
•
Information
•
Networking
•
Funding
•
Technical assistance TA
TENTATIVE LESSONS LEARNED
UNPACKING evaluation capacities (EC) facilitates identification of different EC gaps
INDIVIDUAL evaluation training neither necessary nor sufficient to develop NEC/S
COUNTRIES may develop their NES with support from other countries &/or IO
NETWORKS regional and national networks can contribute to NES

Questions & Answers
Explore the complexities of National Evaluation Systems (NES) through discussions on managing, conducting, and using evaluations across government, universities, think tanks, consultants, and civil society. Unpack the challenges, gaps, and potential solutions for developing effective NES, including the role of conceptual frameworks and system approaches in accelerating progress.
