 The biggest challenges to establishing monitoring systems are the lack of long-term strategy to deliver and sustain those capacities, as well as working not only on the technical aspects, but also the institutional arrangements that need to be in place for those systems to work properly. Monitoring systems are a very large construct that requires a lot of agencies to work and collaborate together, and as long as those relationships are not duly established for the long-term sustainability of that process, it fluctuates. So what happens is that many instances we deliver capacity to the institutions, but then the fact that the teams are not institutionalized and depend on fundings that come and go makes it so that there is a fluctuation in capacity. So once the project finalizes, people move on, capacities drop, and then once again we find ourselves in these jo-jo-hope capacities, as you might call it. So we need long-term strategies to consolidate the capacities and then replicate those for a critical mass of practitioners.
