Resumo
There is a need to position evaluation high on the list of country priorities and to allocate resources for evaluation and make evidence-based policy decisions. Also, evaluation networks and associations must encourage evaluators to develop political competencies and expand the conversation to engage foundations, parliamentarians, etc., to advocate for evaluations.
Countries should be supported to embed evaluation of SDGs into national policies and development plans, and development agencies must accelerate efforts to include evaluation engagement. Need advocacy on how evaluation can accelerate progress toward SDGs; contribute to good governance and a more sound primary data collection actions balanced with stakeholder engagement.
The CEI will continue to advocate M&E to support acceleration toward the achievement of the SDGs and extend the conversations regarding the need for evaluation to other stakeholders such as foundations , NGOs, parliamentarians and the private sector.
