3 3 1.0 Introduction Paper will: Highlight how Uganda is institutionalizing evaluation by linking supply and demand: Focusing on roles and responsibilities in government (especially executive)- Mention will also be made on how the executive associates with the parliament and civil society, Highlight existing policy framework for evaluation and to what extent it clarifies roles and responsibilities on evaluation for different institutions, Highlight role played by government in initiating, coordinating and/or using evaluations Highlight current initiatives in promoting the use of credible evaluations
4 2.0 Context In Uganda, over the past two decades, considerable efforts have been made to establish a strong and robust basis for assessing public spending, and its effects on development The Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) has a constitutional mandate to oversee reforms and service delivery in all Government Ministries, Departments & Agencies; and therefore has established an M&E function to support this role. One of its key functions is to co-ordinate, monitor and evaluate the implementation of Government Policies and Programmes. A National Strategy for Monitoring and Evaluation of Government programmes (NIMES) also exists within OPM, which inter alia, enhances M&E capacity in Uganda as well as ensuring that sound evidence based Data & Information are available to inform decision making in national policy frameworks. 4
5 3.0 Context..contn Government introduced a series of reforms to enable Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and Local Governments (LGs) to plan and budget annually according to clear budget lines, and against the provision of products and services. MDAs report quarterly on spending and progress towards stated output targets The political interest and pressure to monitor spending and results has increased since the re-introduction of multi-party politics in Uganda in 2006 and growing attention of domestic media, CSOs and international community Executive and parliament have taken cognizance of these issues, and have placed increasing demands on the public service to improve its stewardship of resources and ensure effective development 5
6 3.0 Policy Framework for Monitoring & Evaluation The National M&E Policy was passed by Cabinet in March Primary purpose: To improve the performance of the public sector through the strengthening of the operational, coordinated and cost-effective production and use of objective information on implementation & results of national strategies, policies, programmes and projects. Specific objectives: 6 Embed M&E in the management practices of MDAs and LGs; Expand the coverage of public policy and programmes that are subjected to rigorous evaluation; Clarify M&E roles and responsibilities; Strengthen coordination in the supply and demand of M&E; Strengthen capacities of MDAs & LGs to implement the policy.
7 4.0 How we plan & evaluate in Uganda s public sector Impacts The current planning framework (BFP, MPS) does not include impact measures, but we do evaluate to assess the impact of our interventions. Development results Sector Outcomes Each sector has up to three outcomes in its BFP, each with key indicators that measure the overall changes in the use, behaviour or satisfaction of the public services provided as measured in the general population. Vote level (intermediate) outcomes Each vote is required to define up to two intermediate outcomes in their BPF and MPS, with key indicators. VF Outputs Vote Function (VF) Outputs are the summary statements of the goods and services provided under a particular vote function (often a department). Performance Accountability Framework 7 Inputs (particularly spending) Financial inputs are linked to VF outputs under the budget. These include the wage, non-wage recurrent and development costs. The costs associated with delivering particular outputs needs to be refined, to assess value-for-money.
8 5.0 Governments Role in Coordinating and /or using evaluations To respond to its mandate, OPM established bi-annual Government Performance Assessments. Reports arising from the assessment are discussed at Cabinet Retreats to track performance and spending and take corrective measures. Process generates demand pressures on Ministries to improve performance and monitoring & evaluation practices. Government performance reports use scorecard with Traffic Light system to assess all MDAs on performance indicators against set annual targets and spending against budgets Green target has been Yellow the level of progress against target/action is slightly below borderline Red the target has not been met Grey insufficient or no data and therefore assessment is not possible Proceedings from the Retreats include: 8 The specific actions agreed upon to address issues raised Progress made against these actions is tracked and reported on at the subsequent retreat. UNDP signed an MoU with OPM to strengthen this initiative
9 6.0 Governments Role in Coordinating and /or using evaluations..cont d Baraza initiative: Seeks to strengthen citizen s engagement with the state Enable them to oversee Government spending at Local Government level It is a critical participation evaluation activity and Presidential directive in Uganda. It is a town-hall style meeting: Government representatives present on their activities during the previous year Present spending and then the public respond with questions, queries and analysis of their own. Barazas help the civil and political leaders: To explain to the community what Local Government does The amount of funds received from central government how they are spent. Through Barazas Government leaders and implementers get to know issues that affect their citizens and make an input- 9
10 6.0 Governments Role in Coordinating and /or using evaluations.cont d Government Evaluation Facility (GEF) Established by OPM to address the poor coverage and quality of public policies and investments by evaluation in Uganda. Provides a systematic basis for expanding the supply of rigorous assessments to address public policy & investment questions surrounding effectiveness of Gov t interventions. Helps in tackling underlying constraints to improved service delivery. Elements of GEF: 10 Has a two year rolling agenda of evaluation topics, approved by Cabinet [ ]. Has a Virtual fund to finance evaluations [Initially with support from the development partners and government of Uganda]. Has Standards, process guidelines and database for guiding & communicating findings Seeks to address previously identified problems of ownership capacity and utility by locating the facility in Government (OPM) Its being used to build analytical and evaluative capacity amongst its members. Overseen by sub-committee made up of experts from public sector institutions [OPM, Ministry of Finance, National Planning Authority, Uganda Bureau of Statistics], academia, Non-Government Organization and Donor Community
11 6.0 Institutional Framework in promoting use of credible Evaluations in Government Rigorous Public Sector Evaluations have been identified as a constraint to improving the culture of debating empirical evidence in public policy, hence OPM began an initiative to strengthen the framework and production of rigorous evaluations across the public service. In 2008, OPM led on the design, implementation and dissemination of evaluations of the successes and failures of the PEAP over the decade of implementation ( ). PEAP evaluation process was managed by a steering committee composed of OPM, MoFPED, NPA and DPs (this was a good example of inter-ministry coordination. Because it was supply driven the evaluation found an audience amongst policy makers with findings and recommendations discussed by cabinet. Results of the evaluation influenced the shape of the PEAP successor, the five-year National Development Plan and development of a national policy on M&E. 11
12 7.0 Institutional Mechanism Arrangement for M&E Sector Working Groups and their benefits: i. National Monitoring & Evaluation (NM&E) Improved identification of cross-cutting M&E performance constraints for the attention of MDAs. Enhanced technical ability of the working group to act as a clearing house for M&E policies, programs and project. Ministries, Departments and Agencies increasingly share experiences in the use of the sector-wide approach as monitoring and evaluation tool. ii. National Monitoring and Oversight (NM&O) Minimized duplication of roles /activities brought about by conflicting mandates e.g. OPM utilizes data from UBOS, BMAU-MoFPED & MLG in preparation of GAPR, thus supporting individual institutions to develop full capacity so as to improve quality of their products. iii. Evaluation Sub-Committee(ESC) Increased use of reference groups ( international and local) to enhance quality of evaluations; Enhanced focus on comparative strength and need for independence from the evaluand in the selection of the evaluation lead institution. 12
13 8.0 Current Initiatives to promote M&E in Uganda 1. Strengthening Monitoring Capacities in the Ugandan Public Sector This is a 2 year project supported by UNDP aiming at contributing to increased effectiveness, efficiency and accountability in Uganda s public sector by strengthening results-oriented monitoring capacities across Government. Training of top civil servants in Monitoring Government program-practical approach Operationalisation of National M&E Policy 2. Evaluation Capacity Development (ECD) Project Three year Project funded by the Republic of Germany Government through GIZ. The project focuses on the following four components: 13 Information events, (populalising evaluation) Gender-sensitive and development evaluation standards, Continuous training courses in short and medium on evaluation, and, Establishment of a blended learning Master s course in evaluation at Makerere University
14 9.0 Current Initiatives to promote M&E in Uganda Cont d 3. Supported Uganda Evaluation Association in developing of Evaluation standards which have enhanced the selection and practice of evaluation to ensure that evaluations serve the public interest. 4. Short term courses in Evaluation which has created a critical mass of trainers on evaluations in Uganda. A Training of Trainers (17 in total) was carried out and these have supported over 10 trainings for staff of MDAs, CSOs & Parliament. 5. Prime Minister s Integrated Management Information System (PMIS) The project aims at enabling interfacing between Management Information Systems across government institutions. UNDP, with technical assistance from National Information Technology Authority (NITA-U), is supporting the establishment of the Prime Minister Information Management System; which will link all the data/information systems from all sectors of government. 6. Government Evaluation Database Acts as a single storage facility for retrieval for all government evaluations that have been undertaken for cross-referencing. It also enables trends to be established by comparing various evaluation studies done in the country 14

19 10.0 Challenges i. Capacity Gap: Improvements in M&E require strong skills and experience in quantitative and qualitative methods iii. iii. iv. Use of Monitoring and Evaluation Reports: Inadequate use of evidence to support policy-making and decision-making Inadequate use of evidence to support policy-making and decision-making Inadequate coordination & coherence among Gov t institutions & programmes v. Inadequate information system dedicated to improve the quality statistical production vi. Capacity & funding to support the M&E processes vii. Need to find other ways to communicate key messages to stakeholders like media & publication of articles in referred academic journals (Media can play a big role in this area) 19
20 11.0 Conclusion and Way forward 20 Government of Uganda is committed to improve its M&E systems by using evidence for decision making and policy Resources have been committed and ring fenced for M&E activities from Government Budget. Evaluation findings are to be disseminated at the bi-annual gov t performance retreats of Cabinet Ministers, Permanent Secretaries & Local government representatives. Evaluations are beginning to be viewed positively, not just as a punitive exercise but with positive comments & ownership by departments & stakeholders There is need to ensure that results from evaluation are translated into use. As Government starts to produce findings from evaluations, these will be rolled into the bi-annual Cabinet Retreats.
