    The search for a method to unpack urban complexity: Case study of the City of Johannesburg
    (African Evaluation Journal, 2017-07-24) Laila R., Smith; Lewis, Ndhlovu; Stephen, Narsoo

This was the case even after the introduction of the monitoring and evaluation framework in 2012. This case study is filling an empirical gap.

    The emergence of government evaluation systems in Africa: The case of Benin, Uganda and South Africa
    (African Evaluation Journal, 2018-03-29) Ian, Goldman; Albert, Byamugisha; Abdoulaye, Gounou; Laila R., Smith; Stanley, Ntakumba; Timothy, Lubanga; Damase, Sossou; Karen, Rot-Munstermann
    Evaluation is not widespread in Africa, particularly evaluations instigated by governments rather than donors. However since 2007 an important policy experiment is emerging in South Africa, Benin and Uganda, which have all implemented national evaluation systems. These three countries, along with the Centre for Learning on Evaluation and Results (CLEAR) Anglophone Africa and the African Development Bank, are partners in a pioneering African partnership called Twende Mbele, funded by the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID) and Hewlett Foundation, aiming to jointly strengthen monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems and work with other countries to develop M&E capacity and share experiences.
