1. Institutional coordination- horizontal and vertical integration

2. Use of performance information for decision-making- quality and timing of information- management information systems inter-linkages- feedback to planning, budgeting, implementation

Challenges

17

3. Capacity Development- varying capacities at various levels

4. Conduct of Evaluations- depth (cluster, thematic, impact, etc.)- frequency and coverage- independence

5. Resource Constraints

Challenges
