Analysis of the Practice of Monitoring and Evaluation in Development Projects in Mali

Abstract

The objective of this work is to analyze and highlight monitoring and evaluation as practiced in development projects in Mali by managers. The methodology is based on a documentary review of various works dealing with issues of monitoring and evaluation, management of development projects, documents of development projects as well as rich and cordial interviews allowed us to build our analysis model. The implementation of monitoring and evaluation in development projects was measured according to a number of variables that related to the understanding of its usefulness, as well as the implementation mechanisms and the identification of methods and tools.The results of our research did not allow us to confirm or refute the hypotheses that had been put forward to try to explain the problem of the practice of monitoring and evaluation in Mali. However, the analysis of the results shows that knowledge of monitoring and evaluation is approximate, the practice is contrary to theoretical prescriptions and the tools and methods are little known and poorly used.
