Validation of the Diagnostic Report
Twende Mbele and the Government of Uganda are validated the diagnostic report on state of M&E evidence-use in public sector planning and budgeting. Accompanying the Report are Guidelines mapping pathways for facilitating greater M&E evidence use in whole-of-government planning and budgeting.
