摘要：The practice of evaluation is gaining importance across governments in Africa.
Country-driven evaluation should enhance the government’s capacity for
accountability, knowledge management, performance, as well as improved
decision making. Countries that have implemented national evaluation systems
include Benin, Uganda, and South Africa. Emerging research tends to focus on
methodologies or sector-specific aspects of evaluation. This article examines the
specific challenge of public procurement for conducting evaluations as
knowledge-based services. The article is based on a baseline study. The
methodology for the study involved a literature review; in-depth interviews; focus
groups with government officials, evaluation suppliers, trainers, and nongovernmental
organisations (NGOs); a root-cause analysis workshop; and an
online survey with both clients and suppliers. The findings are that the quality of
government procurement and supply chain management is a major factor that
affects the supply of evaluators. The article concludes by offering
recommendations to enhance the process of public procurement.
