Ireland has shown a strong commitment to addressing child poverty and improving outcomes for children and young people through significant policy, legislative and organisational reforms over the past decade. This report is part of a joint project between the OECD, the European Commission and Ireland to strengthen policy and governance arrangements in Ireland. It provides guidance for the development of a Monitoring and Evaluation system for Ireland’s new policy framework for children and young people, Young Ireland. The report details the steps that should be considered when developing a robust results-based Monitoring and Evaluation system, building on international good practice examples and existing indicators.
