Reporting and evaluation of development progress at the national level

Abstract

In the past two decades or so a great many plans of economic and social development have been formulated in the developing countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America. Undoubtedly, with the passage of time, a significant amount of experience has been built up. In a number of countries the successive generations of development plans have incorporated into their moulds certain lessens of past experience a process which has helped the inject elements of both realism and strength into the more recent development efforts.
