action_plan:

La Oficina Andina se compromete a identificar sistemas de monitoreo adecuados que permitan adaptabilidad durante la implementación sin perder de vista el cumplimiento de los resultados esperados. Asimismo, trabajará con los mandantes para que los sistemas de monitoreo de las políticas públicas incorporen un enfoque orientado al impacto. Se hará hincapié en la necesidad de elaborar informes periódicos de avance, con base en las metas e indicadores establecidos.

title:

A monitoring system better aligned with the desired changes The weaknesses detected in the indicators are a direct consequence of the design problems mentioned above. The indicators do not fully capture the changes they are meant to promote, so the information in the data on their level of achievement is not completely illustrative of the result obtained, neither in breadth nor in orientation. On the other hand, although much information was collected on the activities carried out, the quantitative data were only systematized to feed the indicators. Even at the output level, the information is scattered and fragmented, making integrated analysis almost impossible. For example, there is a contradictory information on the number of people trained and there is no reliable disaggregated data on their profile and responsibilities, gender or city they reside in. All of this is surprising, since the Project has taken monitoring activities very seriously. But most of the effort has been aimed at the supervision of the implementing partners and the preparation of quarterly reports for the donor, in addition to the monitoring of the activities themselves, already in the field of technical management. However, there is a lack of a tool that would provide a complete and integrated picture of the project’s progress. For example, annual systematization reports, beyond the one prepared at the end of the project, as well as the database of participants, which has already been mentioned elsewhere. The Project team had an in-depth knowledge of the progress of the Project and, therefore, could make informed decisions. But if there had been changes in any of the key positions, it would have been difficult to convey the degree of achievement at any given time. The recommendation applies to any entity launching initiatives that require the definition of a monitoring system: it is essential to design it in a way that truly tracks the progress of actions toward achieving results and supports decision making. Furthermore, for future projects or public policies, the national institutions responsible for implementing anti-trafficking policies (Public Ministry, MIMP, MININTER) should develop more integrated and impact-oriented monitoring systems that ensure proper disaggregation and systematisation of data. This would facilitate measuring progress toward strategic objectives, even after the completion of international cooperation projects.
