  4. Current demand and use of evaluation • Demand for evaluation comes from both government and non-government actors, especially development partners. • Evaluation results are used by oversight agencies, legislative bodies, and the executive branch, among others for decision-making (e.g., technical budget hearings, investment programming), and in influencing policy.

  5. Challenges in evaluation • Varying levels of evaluation capacities (competencies and skills) across Departments/Agencies • Need to capacitate the departments/agencies to conduct internal evaluations, and outsource and manage evaluation • Set-up of evaluation unit remains a big challenge for some departments/agencies (National and sub-national levels) • Absence of central repository of evaluation studies • Limited political buy-in • Availability of baseline information
