In Nigeria, government policies are neither monitored nor evaluated. Monitoring and Evaluation of policies help to facilitate evidence-based policy design and implementation in order to increase the policy’s accountability and transparency, demonstrate achievements towards policy objectives and assess the policy’s effectiveness, efficiency, results and impacts.
Not in Nigeria though. Policy makers in the country are loath to know how a policy is working, thus denying them the ability to steer and adjust the policy as it is being implemented.
