Building a monitoring and evaluation framework for open government in Argentina

This chapter assesses Argentina’s efforts to monitor and evaluate open government strategies and initiatives. It argues that Argentina has made substantial progress since 2016 in promoting monitoring and evaluation (M&ampE) practices across government. Nevertheless, it notes that the respective M&ampE and open government agendas could be further aligned to improve the M&ampE of open government efforts. Therefore, the chapter provides recommendations on how to foster M&ampE of open government, considering areas such as the institutional set-up for sharing data, the design of indicators, the development of M&ampE capacities among public officials and the evaluation of open government initiatives. The chapter also discusses Argentina’s promotion of M&ampE across governments with a focus on the provinces.
