For over 20 years Australia has provided assistance to Papua New Guinea in the development of their law and justice sector. The Justice Services and Stability for Development program is the most recent of such law and justice development assistance programs. Much like its predecessors, while it made some achievements, efforts have ultimately underperformed due to an inadequate and donor-centric monitoring and evaluation framework. It is contended that although an ideal monitoring and evaluation framework will not guarantee development results, it is a prerequisite. This ideal framework adopts the learning-effectiveness model and constructivist approach, relies on mechanisms such as self-reporting and qualitative research tested against context-centric indicators and is necessarily staged in its rollout design.

20 多年来，澳大利亚一直为巴布亚新几内亚法律和司法部门的发展提供援助。司法服务和稳定促进发展计划是此类法律和司法发展援助计划中的最新一项。与其前身非常相似，虽然它取得了一些成就，但由于不完善和以捐助者为中心的监测和评估框架，最终表现不佳。有人认为，一个理想的监测和评估框架虽然不能保证发展成果，但它是一个先决条件。这个理想的框架采用学习效果模型和建构主义方法，依赖于自我报告和针对以情境为中心的指标进行测试的定性研究等机制，并且必须在其推出设计中分阶段进行。
