Setting up a Policy Monitoring and Evaluation System (P-MEL)

• Policy Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning System (MPI) is an important policy management instrument, applied to improve the efficacy of policies in reaching their objectives.
• The specific features of a P-MEL system depend on several factors
• capacities to implement and provide information, data and analyses
• costs and funding
• the time frame for impacts to materialize (short-term vs. long term)
• the designing choice on monitoring or evaluation indicators (quantitative, qualitative)
• the issue of multiple outcomes
• relevance to policymakers.

Setting up a Policy Monitoring and Evaluation System

Policy Review and analyses – Theory of Change (ToC)

• The theory of change (ToC) provides the blueprint or pathway by mapping out long-term goals and linking them to preconditions, specifying the causal link between changes and preconditions
• A theory of change can help navigate the connection between the policy engagement process and the results.
• Causal chain model the theory of change is based on a set of logical or causal connections; usually a set of inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes and impact.
• Dimensions of influence is based on a set of outcomes presumed to be important to enabling policy influence;
• Actor-centered theory of change is focused on the change in behaviour of different actors. This approach provides a clear focus for M&E activities. One familiar framework that works in this way is Outcome Mapping.

Policy Review and analyses – Theory of Change (ToC)

• Theories of change can be expressed in many forms but ultimately should explain how you get from “here” to “there.”1 ;
• Theory of change is both a process and a product (Vogel 2012). At its simplest, the theory of change is a ‘description of a sequence of events that is expected to lead to a particular desired outcome.’
• Theory of change starts from a baseline analysis of the context and issues and maps out the logical sequence of changes that are expected to result from a policy or reform agenda
• Theory of change is most effective when it is used throughout the policy cycle;
• The theory of change framework is very helpful to guide stakeholder engagement and communication;

Logic Model, Evaluation Approach and methodology

• ToC summarises work at the strategic level defining causality, the Logic Model unpacks the implementation paradigm of the ToC by defining interventions.
• ToC provides a roadmap or a blue print of achieving an outcome, the Logic Model provides intervention inputs and activities, the outputs they will produce, and the connections between these outputs and the desired outcomes.
• Evaluation Approach and Mixed Method
•  Comprehensive Evaluation
•  Formative Evaluation
•  Process Evaluation
•  Outcome Evaluation/ Impact Evaluation
• Finalizing the Evaluation Question and Enquiry area based on the ToC, Log frame and evaluation approach

Setting up a Policy Monitoring and Evaluation System (P-MEL) – Log Frame

• The Log Frame method is an instrument employed by analysts, planners and managers for: problem analysis, objective formulation, planning, implementation and monitoring and evaluation
• The LogFrame approach comprises three major phases, i.e. problem and context analysis, objective analysis, and the planning phase
• Problem and context analysis
•  Identification and analysis of stakeholders.
•  Identification and analysis of the existing negative situation, i.e. the problem/s, their causes (problem hierarchy, problem tree) and their inter- relationships.
• Objective analysis
•  Development of a future positive situation by reformulating problems into corresponding objectives (objective hierarchy, objective tree);
•  Review, assessment and further amendment of the objective tree.
• Planning
•  Strategy analysis and choice.
•  Identification of specific measures / activities to be carried out in pursuance
• of each selected objective.
•  Detailed scheduling and planning of identified measures / activities.
•  Documentary summary in form of a Planning Matrix.
