Background

Government of Nepal has regarded good governance as one of the key strategies to deliver development projects and public services in a more efficient and effective ways. For promoting the good governance, the government has taken various initiations including strengthening of the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system. Improved M&E system aims to make the process, outputs and outcomes of the decision-making and the government expenditure more efficient, reliable, transparent and accountable.

 

To improve the M&E system, it has become essential to develop and utilize M&E capacity at the national and district levels. In this context, Government of Nepal, with the technical cooperation from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), has initiated SMES Project. The Project is targeting National Planning Commission Secretariat (NPCS), development ministries and departments at the central level and three pilot districts representing different ecological and development regions at the district level.
