Beyond the Numbers : Understanding the Institutions for Monitoring Poverty Reduction Strategies

This volume provides lessons on the
design and functioning of such monitoring systems, based on
the experience of twelve Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS)
countries (Albania, Bolivia, Guyana, Honduras, the Kyrgyz
Republic, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Nicaragua, Niger,
Tanzania, and Uganda). The focus is on the institutional
arrangements of PRS monitoring systems - the rules and
processes which bring the various actors and monitoring
activities together in a coherent diagnostic tool - and a
summary of the situation in these twelve PRS countries.
