Monitoring Policy Impacts (MPI): The Eight Methodo-"logical" Steps for MPI 2005

Also available in:

No results found.

This Module presents the eight methodo-“logical” steps for monitoring policy impacts (MPI), comprising:

Step 1: Initiation and preparation of MPI

Step 2: Policy review and analysis

Step 3: Development of the impact model

Step 4: Selection of impact indicators

Step 5: Research design

Step 6: Information and data collection

Step 7: Data compilation, processing and analysis

Step 8: Feedback of results of MPI t o policy makers, clients, public.
The activities to be performed on the various steps are described, and an overview of the methods to be applied in performing these activities is given. It is pointed out that the eight steps represent a logical sequence but that the steps are closely interlinked and that there are likely possible feed back cycles to previous steps. In a concluding section, conditions for a practical application of MPI to specific policy cases are set out.

This tool illustrates one of the most popular welfare-based measures of inequality, the Atkinson Index. In particular, it discusses the foundations of this Index, in terms of social welfare specifications, and the concept of equally distributed equivalent income on which the measure is based. The use of this measure is then exemplified in a step-by step procedure and in a numerical example.

Monitoring Policy Impacts (MPI): The Role of MPI in Policy Formulation and Implementation 2005

Also available in:

No results found.

Monitoring Policy Impacts (MPI) is a policy management instrument, applied to improve the efficacy of policies in reaching their objectives. MPI identifies diversions of reality from plan when they occur, as well as the causes of such diversions, thus allowing immediate corrections, if required, and respective adjustments in policy design and implementation. With its special features – focussing on impacts at policy level, tracing of flaws, timeliness of recording and feed back - MPI is related to but distinct from other conventional monitoring and evaluation concepts, such as implementation monitoring, project and programme monitoring, and evaluations which are conducted ex-post in longer time intervals only.
