In July 2013, MISTRA was appointed as the peer reviewer for the twenty one thematic papers that were produced by the Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) and the National Planning Commission (NPC) for the 20 Year Review Project. MISTRA utilised both in-house expertise and also drew on MISTRA networks across different fields of work to provide overall coordination and management of the peer reviewing process. A single overall report was produced, drawing out issues, suggestions and common observations pertaining to several thematic areas and the overall peer reviewing experience.
