Progress with National Evaluation System
3 National and Provincial Evaluation plans to date, last week selected evaluations for 4th
39 evaluations completed, underway (11 completed, 2 public) 18 guidelines, evaluation standards, competences, trained >600
government staff Building demand – emphasising learning, reports to Cabinet, working
with Parliament, publicising reports, training for DGs/DDGs in use of evidence
Evaluation Repository – audit of evaluations since 2006, plus new - 103 evaluations on the website
2 provincial evaluation plans (WC and GP), working with 4 more provinces, and 5 departments have departmental evaluation plans
First Annual Report on the National Evaluation System (for 2013/14) now available

Early indications of policy impact Role of improvement plans - produced for ECD, Land Restitution,
Grade R, CRDP, RECAP and Business Process Services. First 6 month report for ECD, 2nd due (late). Apart from the ECD evaluation, the next evaluation was only
commissioned in October 2012 – ie 18 months prior to this report. It is therefore early days to see concrete impacts of the evaluations.
Early days, some examples of policy influence can already be seen: New ECD policy drafted responding to the ECD Diagnostic Review, including
the need to target children from conception; Renewed focus on quality of Grade R rather than just rollout as a result of
the Grade R evaluation – included in MTSF. Renewed focus on nutrition in children resulting from the evaluation of
nutrition interventions for children under 5, and a stunting target in the Medium-Term Strategic Framework. The Improvement Plan will take this further.

Grade R – short-term targets

The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation
Key challenges Inadequate supply of skilled evaluators - range of skills
needed from proposal writing, evaluation methodology, writing reports DPME working with universities and World Bank,
promote training of SPs Insufficient PDI participants
Changing panel criteria to promote access, but keep quality, have 30% PDI requirement in CFPs
Some evaluations are taking a long time to be brought by departments to cluster (often 6+ months) and thence Cabinet. DPME will bring if takes longer than 4 months.
Departments taking long (6 months+ delay) to finalise improvement plans arising from evaluations, and to report on progress. Include in MPAT standards and discuss with AG.

The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation
Challenges (2) Weak programme planning
Cabinet agreed need for support programme using government/donor resources. Also develop MPAT standard to drive change.
Insufficient funding for complex evaluations Programmes should reserve between 0.1% and 5% of
programme budgets for evaluation. Some departments who are funding NEP evaluations
themselves are taking a very long time to procure (notably DHS).
These should be in departmental evaluation plans and DPME procures for all evaluations selected for NEP. Need to meet Minister DHS to discuss delays on 5 evaluations.
Some sectors/outcomes not proposing evaluations – notably Health, Economic Infrastructure, Environment, Public Service, Local Government.
FOSAD suggested propose and 6 evaluations being proposed to Cabinet on Crime, Health, Public Service

Taking the evaluation system forward Undertaking audit of implementation
programmes in gov. – may well be 1000! If each were to be evaluated every 5 years = 200/year – big challenge
To do that extending national evaluation system to provinces in 2014-15/2015-16 and to departments from 2015-16. Is an issue of capacity to support 46 national depts and 9 provinces.
Focus on programme planning (again needs resources)

The Presidency: Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation
ResearchWork starting on a diagnostic which will inform a
research strategy – balance between work we do on actual research, vs support to influence the research system so it provides research relevant to the outcomes Some work being undertaken internally in DPME PSPPD supporting a research exercise in a number of
provinces and departments to see what is happening and what role we should play
Working to develop immediately a repository of key research around each outcome
Assignment on DG workload – starting
