Creating impactful policies and programmes - Bridging the M&E gap in a post-COVID world
Table ronde
À propos de l'événement
The panel discussion will bring together experts and from Pakistan M&E professionals who will discuss the gaps in current M&E system, capacity constraints, challenges confronted during COVID19, and ways to put M&E back in the center, by creating a culture of decision-making driven by data.
There is an understanding of the regional and national gaps in M&E. Commitment to Agenda 2030 or having great implementation plans is just not enough if there is any monitoring or accountability at output and outcome levels. There are noticeable shortfalls in M&E capacities as well as practices e.g. needs for evaluations with prompt turnaround. This panel discussion brings together academicians, policy-makers, program managers working with M&E together, to share their challenges and gaps, but more importantly, to visualize the M&E systems post-COVID19, possibilities of collaboration and other innovative ideas to centralize M&E and bring about a paradigm shift in the institutional cultures. The audience will learn about the M&E ecosystem, practices and gaps in Pakistan, good practices and lessons from the region, and proposed solutions for more impactful policies, resulting in visible and measurable public well-being.
