Anis Ben Brik examines the state of the institutionalization of evaluation across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), providing a rigorous analysis of both historical progress and contemporary practices. Utilising Reinhard Stockmann et al.'s well-established theoretical and methodological approach, he focuses on core political, social and professional systems to thoroughly assess evaluation frameworks within diverse national contexts.

Brik explores strategies for embedding evaluation within governance frameworks to strengthen accountability, transparency and evidence-based decision-making. He investigates the development of the field through the establishment of capacity-building initiatives along with academic programs and professional networks, emphasizing the role of civil society organizations and public engagement in fostering inclusive and participatory systems. Presenting a detailed cross-country comparison of 13 MENA countries, the book identifies regional trends as well as systemic challenges and opportunities to advance evaluation institutionalization.

Students and scholars of evaluation studies, public and social policy, public administration, governance and Middle Eastern and North African politics will greatly benefit from this innovative book. It is also an essential resource for policymakers, practitioners and government officials in monitoring and evaluation, planning and community development, as well as civil society organizations and NGOs.
