| description |
During the past two decades Colombia has
been developing and improving its National Results-Based
Management and Evaluation System (SINERGIA). The development
of this system has been a focal point in Colombia's
state reform towards performance-based management,
particularly at the central administration. After 15 years
of progress, overcoming the effects of institutional,
political, and fiscal obstacles, SINERGIA has achieved one
of the highest levels of development and customization, and
it is held up as an example of best practices by
multilateral organizations, donor agencies, and other
governments. The monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system
that Colombia adopted sought to promote a results focus on
both planning and budgeting processes, simultaneously.
However, during implementation the results-based planning
model superseded the budgeting model, owing principally to
the architecture of Colombia's central administration
and to the institutional placement of SINERGIA within the
Department of National Planning. Compared with similar
experiences in other countries, the process by which
SINERGIA advanced institutionalization is notable for the
way it combined high-ranking, wide ranging, and formal
mechanisms with the development of informal practices in key
areas of the public sector. Many lessons for other countries
are identified in this paper. Some of the key factors in
Colombia's success are as follows: 1) the importance of
having a central governmental department act as a champion
supporter, and using an opportunistic approach to include
the M&E system as a key pillar on public sector reform
agendas; 2) the kind of regulatory and incentives framework
on which the M&E system is based, and the sustained
effort in promoting 'cultural' change and
developing evaluation capacities; 3) the political role of
the President in the system's institutionalization
process; 4) the powerful part that technically defined
methodologies and dissemination mechanisms have played in
the system's institutionalization strategy; 5) the
collaborative approach used to strengthen evaluation
practices and to enhance the community of evaluators; and 6)
the demand-driven approach for introducing M&E at the
regional level. |
