After 60 years of evolving development theory and programmatic interventions, it is time for a more holistic
and pragmatic approach to country systems strengthening. For decades, the central question of systems
strengthening in international development has seldom been explicitly defined or operationalized, and is more

There are specific challenges to address when monitoring and evaluating capacity building interventions. Planning and preparation are important, as is a recognition that any monitoring and evaluation (M&E) processes need to support rather than inhibit capacity building. Many different tools and methodologies are available, but these will often need to be adapted to the local context. Evaluating progress across a portfolio of organisations is difficult and involves trade-offs between consistency and local ownership.
