- Abstract
The Namibian government has made progress towards adopting a whole-of-government, results-based monitoring and evaluation (M&E) approach as reflected in various policies and strategies. However, challenges remain in the implementation of these policies to embed strong M&E practices in all offices, ministries and agencies (OMAs). The study adopted a case study design focused on the Namibian policies and guidelines for established effective M&E systems. This article reviews available academic literature as well as studies by the World Bank, the UNDP and the OECD to identify the characteristics of effective M&E systems. A review of the policy and strategy framework adopted by the Namibian government informed a qualitative assessment that compares the current practices in Namibia to the characteristics of effective M&E systems. The article concludes that while each country should adopt an M&E system aligned to their context, the Namibian M&E system can be strengthened by focusing on the identified success factors to strengthen existing practices and enable successful institutionalisation of M&E across government OMAs.
