Background: In contemporary public governance, transparent, accountable, and citizen-centric practices are paramount. Citizen-based monitoring (CBM) of government projects is a promising avenue to uphold these principles. However, there is a pressing need for a more effective, structured, and technologically driven approach to CBM.Objectives: This research aims to present a tailored model for the South African government. Utilising social media, the model seeks to transform CBM practices, enhancing governance and ensuring project success. The limitations of current CBM tools necessitate such a model in South Africa.Method: Rooted in rigorous mixed-methodology research, the model’s development and validation involve in-depth interviews with government officials, local media, and civic organisations, along with a citizen survey and literature review. International best practices in CBM and social media analytics inform its design.Results: The study uncovers that current CBM tools have a dual nature, empowering citizens yet facing context-specific challenges like elite capture and inclusivity issues. Social media emerges as a preferred tool among citizens for monitoring government projects, showcasing its transformative potential in fostering transparency and citizen engagement.Conclusion: By leveraging social media’s dynamic capabilities, this model can enhance transparency, accountability, and project success in South Africa’s governance landscape, marking a significant advancement in the digital era.Contribution: This research introduces a novel CBM model for South Africa, tailored to leverage social media’s transformative potential. Addressing existing limitations in CBM tools provides insights into the challenges and opportunities of utilising social media for government project monitoring.

Background: Robust results-based monitoring and evaluation (ME) systems allow government to track the progress and impact of development programmes. This article focused on the current ME system as adopted for the Child Support Grant (CSG) programme of the Ministry of Gender Equality, Poverty Eradication and Social Welfare (MGEPESW) in Namibia.Objectives: The article examined whether the adopted ME processes and arrangements for the MGEPESW sufficiently track the outcomes for beneficiaries of the CSG programme to enable strategic decisions by the MGEPESW.Method: A desktop review of available literature on ME systems was complemented by a review of strategic reports and programme documentation of the MGEPESW that sets out the current ME arrangements. Further interviews with senior, middle and programme managers responsible for the implementation of the CSG programme assessed the suitability and gaps of these arrangements as well as the proposed recommendations to strengthen the existing ME arrangements.Results: The research found several gaps in current practice that hinders the MGEPESW and decision-makers in assessing the outcomes for child beneficiaries.Conclusion: Recommendations were offered to improve the current ME system to better track the outcomes of the CSG programme. This included a refined theory of change, revised indicators and strengthened institutional arrangements.Contribution: The improved results-based ME system for the MGEPESW offers a comparative base for the implementation of results-based ME systems for child-focused cash transfer programmes in similar contexts.
背景：强有力的成果监测和评估（ME）系统使政府能够跟踪发展计划的进展和影响。本文重点关注纳米比亚性别平等、消除贫困和社会福利部（MGEPESW）的儿童抚养补助金（CSG）计划所采用的现行 ME 系统：文章研究了两性平等、消除贫困和社会福利部所采用的 ME 程序和安排是否能够充分跟踪 CSG 计划受益人的成果，以便两性平等、消除贫困和社会福利部做出战略决策：方法：在对有关 ME 系统的现有文献进行桌面审查的同时，还审查了 MGEPESW 的战略报告和计划文件，这些文件介绍了当前的 ME 安排。此外，还与负责实施 CSG 计划的高级、中级和计划管理人员进行了访谈，评估了这些安 排的适宜性和不足之处，并提出了加强现有 ME 安排的建议：研究发现，目前的做法存在一些缺陷，妨碍了妇女地位及权利部和决策者对受益儿童的成果进行评估：结论：提出了改进现有 ME 系统的建议，以更好地跟踪 CSG 计划的成果。这包括完善变革理论、修订指标和加强机构安排：经改进的社会福利和性别平等主流化项目成果监测系统为在类似情况下实施以儿童为重点的现金转移计划的成果监测系统提供了比较基础。

Background: A needs assessment identifies the differences between actual and ideal situations to facilitate the development of a new programme or improve existing services.Objectives: This article shares our experiences conducting the needs assessment in a context where people had limited or no understanding of the need being assessed.Method: Adhering to a three-phase model – comprising pre-assessment, assessment, and post-assessment – we employed diverse data collection methods, including quantitative survey, qualitative interviews, and environmental scan.Results: The findings underscored the necessity of expanding rehabilitation services in Ethiopia, with a shift from a purely medical focus to addressing issues associated with daily functioning and community engagement. These issues align closely with the core expertise and responsibilities of occupational therapists. Participants expressed support for the introduction of occupational therapy in Ethiopia and willingness to incorporate the practice of occupational therapists in their settings. The challenges encountered were how to ask about occupational therapy when it is not well known by members of the local population and how to introduce the profession without biasing participants’ responses.Conclusion: Conducting a needs assessment was critical to developing occupational therapy services in Ethiopia. We welcome others to learn from our experiences.Contribution: This manuscript details the assessment process and delves into the challenges we encountered and lessons learned. It extends methodological suggestions to inform future evaluations and contributes valuable insights to the broader discourse on needs assessment and programme development in a context where people have limited awareness of services, such as occupational therapy.

Background: Child participation in evaluation and research is key to ensure horizontal accountability and respect the rights of the children to voice their opinions on actions that have a direct impact on their lives. The author uses illustrative examples to describe how child-focused evaluation and research can be implemented in practices and discusses the main challenges and lessons learnt.Objectives: To reflect on the current evaluation practices and identify clear ways to ensure children and other marginalised groups can meaningfully participate in evaluation and research processes.Method: Children from 8 years to 18 years were involved in various evaluation and research assignments through different data collection and dissemination methods in five African countries.Results: The experiences show practically how children can successfully be engaged in evaluation and research through meaningful consultations that are both safe and ethical and through adapted communication materials and channels to ensure horizontal accountability.Conclusion: Ensuring the meaningful participation of children in evaluation and research processes is not only a right for children but also a great opportunity to enhance the design of evaluation and research pieces to make them more engaging and human-centred. The use of child-focused approach brings its own set of challenges and questions that evaluators can navigate with the support from relevant stakeholders. It requires authors to think outside of the box, be creative and put ourselves in the shoes of our main audience to develop the most suitable engagement strategies.Contribution: This article represents the culmination of a comprehensive research endeavor, from conceptualisation to data analysis and findings interpretation, conducted solely by the main author. The different pieces were reviewed for quality assurance by Helene Juillard. The illustrations presented in the article were made by Clementine Guivarch’ based on the author’s guidance and inputs.

Background: Health research is typically disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and academic forums. However, evidence suggests limited exploration of alternative communication methods for effective knowledge dissemination.Objectives: This study aimed to determine the extent to which policymakers in Malawi consult health researchers while translating their knowledge. This study aimed to determine the post-research endeavours of Malawian health researchers to incorporate research findings into policy and decision making.Method: Conducted at Kamuzu University of Health Sciences (KUHeS), this cross-sectional study employed a 5-point Likert scale survey to collect data from researchers, offering a snapshot view without indicating temporal changes or causality.Results: Researchers rarely created suggestions, take-home messages, or actionable instructions for use by health officials. They seldom give users access to a searchable database of papers, studies, and syntheses that summarise recommendations for policymakers in the field of health. They seldom send reprints of papers from scientific publications to decision-makers. Few researchers have created summaries of articles or systematic reviews for health officials’ use.Conclusion: Traditional channels, such as journals and conferences, dominate the dissemination of health research. However, limited evidence suggests the need for broader communication strategies. The current landscape lacks effective products and methods, urging researchers to produce accessible formats with clear, key messages to address policy questions.Contribution: Researchers should develop research products in compelling formats by using clear key messages. The summarised evidence should answer important policy questions. Researchers should involve the media to communicate their research outputs.
