    Gender responsiveness diagnostic of national monitoring and evaluation systems – methodological reflections
    (African Evaluation Journal, 2017-04-26) Caitlin, Blaser Mapitsa; Madri S., Jansen van Rensburg
    This article reflects on the implementation of a diagnostic study carried out to understand the gender responsiveness of the national monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems of Benin, South Africa and Uganda. Carrying out the study found that the potential for integrating the cross-cutting systems of gender and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) are strong. At the same time, it highlighted a range of challenges intersecting these two areas of work. This article explores these issues, which range from logistical to conceptual.

    Designing diagnostics in complexity: Measuring technical and contextual aspects in monitoring and evaluation systems
    (African Evaluation Journal, 2017-04-28) Caitlin, Blaser Mapitsa; Marcel T., Korth
    This article emphasizes the importance of reflecting on the methods employed when designing diagnostic tools for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems. It sheds light on a broader debate about how we understand and assess M&E systems within their political and organisational contexts.

    Diagnosing monitoring and evaluation capacity in Africa
    (African Evaluation Journal, 2018) Caitlin, Blaser Mapitsa; Linda, Khumalo
    Since 2015, the Centre for Learning on Evaluation and Results-Anglophone Africa (CLEAR-AA) has implemented more than seven diagnostic tools to better understand monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems in the region. Through the process of adapting global tools to make them more appropriate to an African context, CLEAR-AA has learned several lessons about contextually relevant definitions and boundaries of M&E systems.
