ME linkages KM, decision making and learning

• ME is an enormous source of knowledge and will
  generate an extraordinary amount of valuable
  explicit and tacit knowledge as well as
  organizational and general knowledge that will
  have to be delivered at the right moment, to the
  right persons in the adequate format for the
  purposes needed.
• KM system could also become a source of data,
  information and knowledge for ME system, is a
  reciprocal 2 way relation.
• The ultimate goal of evaluation is recommend
  actions to improve decision making and improve
  performance of programs and policies so all
  evaluations should focused on utilization of
  their findings and recommendations
