► Current supply mostly limited to:•Formal training
•Short-term programs
•Expensive international programs
•Some M&E and RBM network initiatives in regions, but need for more in-country and regional support
► Demand for:•In-service and applied programs tailored to specific needs
•Cost-effective options for diverse audiences
– parliaments, public sector agencies, civil society, program managers
•Range of training and knowledge-sharing modalities
•Training of trainers
The Supply of Relevant Evaluation Capacity Development Services is Inadequate
Overview of CLEAR
One center (or a consortium of centers) each in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and South Asia selected on a competitive basis
• One center already established in East Asia (AFDC)
• Possible expansion within regions in later years
Program Components
► Multi-regional (small)• Learning events for selected centers, based on needs
• Peer-to-peer learning among centers
• Technical assistance on centers’ work program
► Regional (big)• Centers develop own work-program, responding to the regional demand
and needs– Training
– Knowledge Services (e.g., research, support to networks)
– Advisory Services (e.g., engagement in evaluations, technical assistance for government agencies and international organizations)
• Multi-regional activities organized by centers themselves (e.g., exchange of experiences on SHIPDET)
• Coordination with other initiatives (e.g., 3IE, statistical capacity building)
► Total of approximately $28 million for five years (cash and in-kind)
► $5.2 M (2009-2010)
• $1.75 M cash from donors in Trust Fund (SIDA, DfID, AfDB, ADB)
• $2 M expected/pledged (DfiD, IDB, IFAD)
• $1 M from Bank units (IEG and regional units)
• In-kind contributions from institutions/host governments/donors (once centers are selected)
• Income from M&E services (generated by centers in later years) (once centers are selected)
► Take in-depth stock after five years to assess continuation and enhance self-sustainability
