This desk study on Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) monitoring was commissioned by the Poverty Monitoring Task Team of the Strategic Partnership with Africa (SPA). It was undertaken with the Overseas Development Institute in two phases.
Phase One consisted of a critical review of PRSP documentation for sub-Saharan Africa and Phase Two involved a wide-ranging search for experiences and examples that might be drawn on in improving the way PRSPs handle monitoring and indicators.
