2009 International Conference on Development Evaluation
October 12: India takes steps to become world leader in evaluation
Over 250 senior Indian Administrative Service staff and leading international and local researchers were meeting to discuss the future of the Indian evaluation system, and draw on international experiences of development evaluation. Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission, announced the establishement of a new Independent Evaluation Office. In a new report released by 3ie at the conference, one of the key take aways is that there is no unique model for strengthening and institutionalizing a monitoring and evaluation system. It all depends on having local champions and using results to improve performance.
