Abstract

The Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) in the Presidency was established in South Africa in 2009 by an incoming administration to improve the impact of government on citizens, notably around delivery of services. DPME has established a number of planning, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems including around priority outcomes, a national evaluation system, and management performance assessments of departments. Key helping factors include political commitment, strong programme leadership, and some strong institutions. Inhibiting factors include the predominant compliance culture of M&E, poor programme planning, and poor administrative data.
