| Summary: | This report is divided into five parts.
Following this introduction, Section two provides an
overview of the institutions and most important features in
the landscape of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) at the
federal level in the United States. Section three detailed
the actual systems for performance M&E that is now in
place in the Executive Branch and coordinated (or led) by
the office of management and budget, including a look at
their evolution and expected future trends. The focus is on
the executive system, because it directly supports
management and budgeting decisions, and because it provides
a key basis for evaluation and research conducted by other
agencies (such as the U.S. Government Accountability Office,
or GAO and Congressional Budget Office, or CBO). Section
four discusses the strengths and particular challenges faced
by these systems, and section five concludes the report with
lessons that may be useful to other countries. |
