Beyond the Numbers: Understanding the Institutions for Monitoring Poverty Reduction Strategies
Central to implementing a successful Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) is a system for monitoring the execution of the strategy and for tracking progress in poverty reduction. Such a system is vital to creating a PRS strategy that is evidence based, results focused and has the flexibility to evolve over time. While significant literature exists on the technical issues of PRS monitoring, less guidance is available on the institutional challenges. Yet, it is the institutional issues which undermine the usefulness and sustainability of monitoring systems. The publication, Beyond the Numbers: Understanding the Institutions for Monitoring Poverty Reduction Strategies, looks specifically at these institutional challenges of the PRS monitoring systems - the rules and processes which bring the various actors and monitoring activities together in a coherent framework.
