Announcement Description
The Royal Government of Cambodia's 7th mandate initiates the development of institutional mechanisms for a rigorous and robust Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system to facilitate the successful execution of the Pentagonal Strategy-Phase 1 (PS-1). Within this initiative, the Committee on Monitoring and Evaluation of PS-1 (CME-PS1), led by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Office of the Council of Ministers (OCM), alongside other high-ranking officials, including the Minister of Planning, has been established. CME-PS1 is responsible for guiding the M&E framework, overseeing progress, offering insights on socio-economic impacts, and ensuring that governmental actions are both accountable and strategically aligned. The role of Senior Local Consultant will play a crucial role in this initiative, contributing to the development of the M&E system and its successful implementation. The role is expected to ensure that this initiative makes a significant impact on the strategic direction and accountability of the government's actions.
The Cambodia-Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development (CAPRED), driven by its mission in policy work, strongly supports the PS1 M&E initiative. With a robust M&E system, the program seeks to exchange useful qualitative and quantitative insights and data with the government, primarily in key sectors like agriculture, trade, investment, infrastructure, gender equality, social inclusion, and others. Recognising the complexity of developing a comprehensive M&E system, CAPRED intends to provide crucial technical support and capacity building to the GS-CME-PS1 team, especially in formulating and developing the M&E Guidelines for the system implementation. This approach underlines CAPRED's commitment to a collaborative, incremental partnership strategy, aiming for meaningful engagement with government entities and other development partners to ensure strategic coherence and impactful outcomes.
