Evaluation in Mexico, a fragmented policy

Abstract

This article aims to develop a critical analysis from an historical perspective regarding institutionalization of the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) systems established by the Mexican federal government within different branches, public agencies and political actors, with some implications regarding evaluation policy design. The latter has become into fragmentation and administrative
chaos due to overlapped powers, excessive regulation and inefficiency. This paper summarizes main features and proposals to harmonising M&E systems, to improve inter-agency coordination, government-citizenry interaction and institutionalization of evaluation policy.
