  • Monitoring and Evaluation of Capacity and Capacity Development

    • Capacity is both a means and an end in development, yet there are very few examples of monitoring of capacity itself. Endogenous self-assessments and performance-monitoring are more effective at building an organization's capacity than exogenous accountability for reporting. The paper discusses a systems-thinking approach to capacity development, which can contrast with an RBM approach, and provides some examples of innovative approaches to M&E of capacity development.
