| Summary: | The Chilean Management Control and
Evaluation System (Sistema de Evaluacion y Control de
Gestion) is internationally regarded as a successful example
of how to put into place a monitoring and evaluation
(M&E) system. Chilean M&E tools are the product of
both cross-national lesson-drawing, and national policy
learning experiences. The main M&E tools are centrally
coordinated by the Ministry of Finance's Budget Office
(Direccion de Presupuestos, or DIPRES) and promote the use
of M&E information in government decision-making
processes, particularly those related to the budget. These
M&E tools have been, however, subject to a number of
criticisms. As a result, the experience described in this
note does not necessarily offer a model that can, or should,
be easily transferred to other countries with different
institutional contexts. Furthermore, this note does not
reflect the latest changes, nor does it try to offer
guidance for the future. However, the Chilean experience
summarized here, covering the period of 1994-2010, provides
interesting examples and highly relevant lessons about the
benefits and limitations of M&E design and implementation. |
