Responsible Parliaments – Embracing Evaluation for Agenda 2030
Over the last ten years across the globe, interest has grown steadily amongst parliamentarians in the role of evaluation as a source of evidence for decision-making on national development and in appraising progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. Evaluation provides parliamentarians with robust evidence on the performance of development programmes and allows them to both highlight success and to hold governments to account for underperformance.
“Our vision is that evaluation becomes so embedded in good governance that no policy maker or manager will dare hold an important meeting, or reach an important decision without having reviewed relevant evaluation information.”
–Hon. Kabir Hashim, Minister of Public Enterprise Development, Sri Lanka and Chair of the GPFE.
