While this may, in the long-term, enhance the country’s domestic monitoring and evaluation capacity, it is resource intensive and can divert attention and domestic resources from ensuring answerability and representative enforceability. This, however, is problematic if the external reporting requirements do not meet domestic information needs. Alternatively, partner countries may choose to integrate some of the more general reporting requirements (e.g. on the allocation of resources and the implementation of planned activities) into national monitoring and evaluation systems already in place in many developing countries. This approach, however, does not address the issue of evaluation.
