Praxis Note 32. Learning and Accountability: A Monitoring & Evaluation Consultant’s Perspective

This note reflects on some of the issues around organisational learning, with a specific focus on how monitoring and evaluation processes can contribute to and support ‘effective’ organisational learning. This note also explores learning and accountability, using the metaphor of a warring couple whose differing mandates make their relationship complex.
