Hearings of individual Line Ministries at DSDC

Findings:

Shortage of capacities within Policy Directorates responsible to identify high level performance indicators; Coordination and knowledge sharing within Line Ministries (GSBIs, Policy Directorates, executing entities) needs to be strengthen Absence of reliable data collection systems Weak policy management / legal expertise in specific sectors Low quality on policy monitoring

Recommendations:

Increase capacities through tailor-made and on-the-job trainings on policy management cycles (planning, monitoring, implementation); Development of effective and efficient Management Information Systems within Line Ministries; Increase capacities for data gathering and analyzing;
