| Summary: | From its creation in the 1990s, the
Chilean monitoring and evaluation (M and E) system has
represented a substantial part of the effort to improve the
use of Chile's public resources within a broader
context of multiple initiatives designed to modernize and
improve public management in many areas. This close
relationship with the budget has determined the primary
characteristics of the M and E system, in both its design
and operations. The M and E system's institutional
coverage includes all the organizations in the executive
branch of the central government and those included in the
budget law for the public sector. The objective of this
document is to give a broad view of the M and E systems in
Chile, distinguishing the three stages and providing lessons
for other countries that are developing their own systems.
The first section focuses on the first period and its two
stages: 1990-2000 and 2000-2010. These stages concentrate
mainly on the role played by the budget office. The second
period covers 2010-13, in which light is shed on both the
new system's actors and the emphasis adopted by the
authorities in charge, but at the same time the authorities
largely continue and strengthen the existing tools from the
M and E system of the previous period. The third section of
the paper summarizes success factors and obstacles to
success in the two periods. Section four states general
conclusions regarding the main system's challenges and
section five includes lessons for other countries. |
