What are the impediments to policy monitoring and evaluation?

Impediments to policy monitoring and evaluation often include insufficient funding and resources, which limit the ability to conduct thorough assessments. There may also be a lack of clear objectives or indicators, making it difficult to measure outcomes effectively. Additionally, political resistance and bureaucratic obstacles can hinder transparency and the willingness to engage in honest evaluations. Finally, inadequate data collection and analysis systems can prevent stakeholders from obtaining the information needed for informed decision-making.
