Evaluating Development Programs
Painel
About the Event
Panelists will be invited to discuss how the government in Pakistan can strengthen its existing mechanisms and processes for Evaluating Development Programs, specifically those tailored for infrastructure development and improvement in governance practices.
The experts will shed light on ways in which existing gaps within the M&E system can be improved to help evaluate the effectiveness of these programs along social, economic and environmental dimensions. They will highlight how and why it is critical to move away from simple Monitoring Outcomes towards data driven Impact Evaluation results to help the government assess how to dynamically improve programs in the future. The discussion will focus on ways in which such improvements can be made over time within the country.
