About

The Project is implemented by ISET Policy Institute and supported by USAID Economic Governance Program. Our goal is to generate reform progress analysis for policy making and public dialogue, and thereby promote informed debate about reform priorities and policy decisions, improve accountability and help build trust between the government, the private sector and the general public. The first phase of ReforMeter was implemented during 2015-2019. The new phase of the project will be implemented during 2021-2024.

Under the ReforMeer project, progress evaluations of selected reforms will be conducted via three distinct methodological tools:

1) Governmental surveys that evaluate progress in reform implementation across four domains: the legal framework; infrastructure and budget; institutional setup; and capacity development. This survey measures the government’s distance from the stated reform objectives on a scale of 0% (no action has taken place) to 100% (all the desired systems have been fully implemented, monitored, and evaluated).

2) Stakeholder surveys that assess reform progress across four dimensions: reform content and adequacy; current performance; reform progress; and the expected outcomes. Members of the stakeholder group (excluding implementing governmental stakeholders) set scores on a scale of 1 (poor performance) to 10 (strong performance) for each dimension.

3) Reform-specific objective indicators act as a proxy for reform effectiveness and are designed to track progress.

In addition to utilizing these three assessment tools, ReforMeter will be presenting a summary of the qualitative assessments developed by the key stakeholders, as well as conducting regional PPDs and awareness-raising events to support the efficient development and implementation of the reforms.
