L’objectif de cet atelier de renforcement des capacités, d’une durée de trois jours, était de renforcer et d’améliorer les capacités existantes en matière de suivi et d’évaluation des membres du Parlement et des chercheurs parlementaires des pays membres de Twende Mbele : Bénin, Ghana, Kenya, Niger, Afrique du Sud et Ouganda. Cet atelier visait à former des champions et à sensibiliser à l’importance des informations issues du suivi et de l’évaluation dans l’élaboration des plans, des politiques, des budgets et des processus de mise en œuvre du secteur public.

L’atelier s’inscrivait dans le prolongement de la mission de Twende Mbele visant à améliorer la surveillance grâce au S&E. Il a été coanimé par des experts en S&E, à savoir le Dr Chris Phiri, le Dr Josephine Watera et le Dr Kobena Hanson, avec un service d’interprétation en anglais et en français. L’approche utilisée était principalement basée sur l’apprentissage interactif entre pairs et le partage d’expériences des membres des parlements participants d’Afrique du Sud, d’Ouganda, du Ghana, du Malawi, du Bénin et du Nigeria, dans le but de combler le fossé entre la théorie du S&E et son application pratique dans les fonctions de contrôle parlementaire.

The purpose of the 3-day capacity building workshop was to build and augment existing M&E capacities among Members of Parliament (MPs) and Parliament Researchers of Twende Mbele member countries: Benin, Ghana, Kenya, Niger, South Africa and Uganda. This capacity building workshop aimed to foster champions and cultivate an appreciation of the value of M&E information in informing public sector planning, policymaking, budgeting and implementation processes.

The workshop was a continuation of Twende Mbele’s mission of improving oversight through M&E. The workshop was co-facilitated by M&E experts namely Dr Chris Phiri, Dr Josephine Watera and Dr Kobena Hanson, with the provision of English and French interpretation. The approach that was used primarily based on interactive peer-learning and sharing of experiences from the participating members of parliament South Africa, Uganda, Ghana, Malawi, Benin and Nigeria – with the intention of bridging the gap between M&E theory and its practical application in the oversight functions of parliament.

The assessment was commissioned by Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) in Partnership with Ministry of Local Government while examining the challenges faced during the recruitment to fill critical positions in the Local Governments.

The study follows assessment results for the Local Government Performance Assessment (LGPA) in the last four financial years that is;(FY2016/17, FY2017/18, FY2018/19, FY2019/20) which revealed that for instance in FY2016/17, Human resource management was the worst performed measure with 45%, followed by revenue mobilization at 47%. Similarly, for FY2017/18, the results still showed that the worst performing areas were Revenue Mobilization (42%) followed by Human Resource Management (51%) hence signaling that Human Resource Management has been the worst performed thematic area in the new revised framework followed by Revenue mobilization.

The Assessment Explored the Challenges in The Local Government Staffing While Focusing On the Filling of Critical Positions in The Local Government Structures in Uganda. The Entry Point to The Assessment Included the Review of LGPA Reports of 2017 – 2019, Particularly with a Focus on Human Resource Management Performance Measure.
