Qualité des résultats, mécanismes de suivi de la conformité et stratégies de gestion des défis dans l’évaluation des politiques publiques.

L’évaluation des politiques publiques vise à mesurer leur efficacité, leur impact et leur durabilité. Elle repose sur trois piliers : la qualité des résultats (à court et long terme), le suivi de la conformité (par des outils de monitoring et de transparence), et la gestion des défis (méthodologiques, institutionnels ou organisationnels). Une bonne évaluation permet d’améliorer la mise en œuvre des politiques et d’en maximiser les retombées pour les populations. 

Note: This session will be in French. 

Date: 2 June
Time: 1:00-2:30 PM (WAT)

Speakers: 
Hamdy BONOU-GBO, Research Associate, WACIE, 3ie
