{"product_id":"building-better-policies-gladys-lopez-acevedo-9780821387771","title":"Building Better Policies","description":"Governments around the world face ongoing pressures from citizens to provide more and better services, and to do this while restraining taxation levels. This provides the context for government efforts to ensure their policies and programs are as effective, and as efficient, as possible. An emphasis on government performance has led a number of governments to create formal systems for monitoring and evaluating their performance--on a regular, planned, and systematic basis--with the objective of improving it. The focus of this book is on these government monitoring and evaluation (M and E) systems: what they comprise, how they are built and managed, and how they can be used to improve government performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gladys Lopez-Acevedo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0821387774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821387771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Bank Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 7.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Gladys Lopez-Acevedo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443716534527,"sku":"9780821387771","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c5d0774-fce1-4aa5-afe2-12fe497c80c7.jpg?v=1777207346","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/building-better-policies-gladys-lopez-acevedo-9780821387771","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
