Monitoring and evaluation systems analysis (MESA) in Solomon Islands - Diagnostic study

This report presents the findings from the Monitoring and Evaluation Systems Analysis (MESA) in the Solomon Islands, a comprehensive assessment of the national monitoring and evaluation (M&E) ecosystem.

"The findings will inform the strengthening of national M&E systems and capacities under the National Development Strategy (NDS) 2016–2035 and cross-cutting themes, such as climate change, environmental sustainability, social inclusion, and gender. The Solomon Islands MESA applied indigenous Melanesian methodologies to engage Pacific stakeholders and identify national M&E system gaps and opportunities. The MESA study focused on analysing national M&E practices for evidence-based planning and budgeting, monitoring, and reporting systems, as well as the use of evaluations for evidence-based decision-making."
