70: Mission-led growth: Measuring success with monitoring frameworks
With public sector reform on the cards, robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks will be essential to turn ambition into real impact. But how can the government effectively assess public spending to drive change?
In this month’s episode of CIPFA Speaks, we explore how and why solid monitoring and evaluation frameworks are key to the success of the government's mission-led initiatives, particularly in addressing spatial inequalities and ensuring that public funds are well spent.
Join Jeffrey Matsu, CIPFA’s Chief Economist, and Mara Airoldi, Director of the Government Outcomes (GO) Lab at Oxford University, as they discuss insights from CIPFA’s latest report. They share practical solutions such as standardised data collection, transparent funding, and tools like CIPFA's Nearest Neighbours Model to help policymakers and finance professionals unlock growth.
🎧 Tune in to discover how effective monitoring and evaluation can champion smarter decision-making and deliver real, sustainable change.
