ENHANCING THE EVALUABILITY OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 2 ( SDG2 ): END HUNGER, ACHIEVE FOOD SECURITY AND IMPROVED NUTRITION AND PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE THEME 3: National M&E Systems and Data Availability-Building on the Progress Made and Addressing Existing Capacity Gaps REQUIREMENTS: The discussion will focus on the progress and current trends in building M&E capacities at the country level and on the understanding to what extend the improved data availability and the strengthened capacities for data analysis will contribute to the evaluability of SDG2 . It will also explore existing capacity gaps that need to be addressed in order to ensure evaluability of SDG2 . The discussion will benefit from short presentations of experiences of national governments in developing M&E systems and managing data , contributing to their own ability to monitor and assess progress on global commitment, such as the MDGs. OBJECTIVES OF THE SESSION: To provide a short overview of the state-of-art discussion with regard to the theme including a critical review of lessons learned about the availability of the MDGs. To discuss emerging issues and challenges with regard to the evaluability of the MDGs. To agree on recommendations for further actions by RBAs to enhance evaluability of the SDG2
ENHANCING THE EVALUABILITY OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 2 (SDG2): END HUNGER, ACHIEVE FOOD SECURITY AND IMPROVED NUTRITION AND PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE THEME 3: National M&E Systems and Data Availability-Building on the Progress Made and Addressing Existing Capacity Gaps Proceedings: Moderated discussion: Three discussants Duration: Presentation and Q&A: 15-20 minutes Proposed Focus of Malaysia’s Presentation: Malaysia’s experience in developing M&E systems and managing data; How Malaysia’s M&E system monitor and assess progress on global commitment, such as the SDGs; Critical success factors in ensuring/making M&E systems workable Abstract Malaysia has embarked on transforming its focus from output to outcome initiated an outcome as early as 2005 with the introduction of Outcome-Based-Approach, Outcome-Based-Budgeting and Outcome Evaluation. The transformation not only enhance productivity and reduce potential susceptibility to wastage, it also ease the evaluating process at national and global level. The combination of visionary player, efficient tools and workable templates helps the smooth integration at vertical as well as horizontal, hence, creating a M&E system in Malaysia. However, there are several critical success factors need to be considered in ensuring the integrations are it at their best. 2
Malaysia’s Experience in Institutionalising and Executing the National M&E Systems The Timely Transformation: Output to Outcome Orientation The Three Essential Elements: Players, Tools and Framework Linking Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) to Sustainable Development Goal 2 ( SDG2 ) The Critical Success Factors in Addressing the Gaps Questions & Answers 3
The Timely Transformation : Output to Outcome Orientation Outcome-Based-Approach (OBA) (2010): National development planning based on results Outcome-Based-Budgeting (OBB) (2010): Preparing the resource requirements to drive the ministry results Outcome Evaluation (2005): Managing information for monitoring, evaluation and decision support system Outcome Evaluation (2005): Performance reporting and policy formulation 4
The Timely Transformation : Output to Outcome Orientation Developed OBB Conceptual Framework Awareness Programs Capacity Building (Trainers and RLs) Developed Initial Results Framework for all Ministries Continuous data quality refinement Focus on monitoring & performance reporting Initiate Centre of Excellence & evaluation cycle to be operational Budget preparation for 2016 to be fully OBB compliant Integrated performance monitoring & reporting to be Full implementation of OBB recommendations including full systems and institutions 2010 - 2011 2012-2013 2014 - 2015 2016 > OBB Policy Circular Roll out of OBB to all ministries (Parallel in 2012) Data validation & refinement Outcome-Based-Budgeting (OBB) 5

Enforcement/ application to all head of division Training sessions conducted through conferences, workshops, bilateral with ministries/ agencies. Pilot testing on program evaluation and reporting. Assessment reports (aggregated according to ministries) sent to Public Service Department. Performance Scorecard for all implementing agencies were issued and reported Evaluation results presented to stakeholders. Ministries/ Agencies/ Statutory Bodies embarked on the evaluation program by: Evaluating the completed projects to identify the outcome and impact. 2010-2012 Outcome Evaluation Module was developed and incorporated into the Project Monitoring System.
