Developing a Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for Education Systems in View of Sustainable Development Goals: A Case from Kenya

Sub-Saharan Africa is home to several emerging economies, including Kenya, that are working towards the global commitments to the SDGs and especially to the SDG4 - Quality Education. Adopting the specific targets of the SGD4 at the national level begins with the alignment of the education policies and legislations which are also integrated into the strategic objectives and project activities articulated within educational programmes. However, tracking the progress in this alignment requires a sound and robust monitoring and evaluation framework. With this rationale, this chapter outlines a case from Kenya, which, through a stepwise process, developed a Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning framework for its education sector. Emphasising the need for a consultative and participatory process that engages key stakeholders in designing and developing such a framework, the chapter sees Education for Sustainable Development as a critical angle for the development of education in Kenya as well as other similar settings.
