Monitoring & Evaluation in Sub-Saharan Africa: Building Trust for Effective, Efficient, and Dynamic Decision-making
Panel Discussion
About the Event
One of the purposes of monitoring & evaluation is to provide decision-makers with a means of assessing how their policies, programmes, and projects are working and where they need to be strengthened. This information must be credible, relevant and timely, contributing to the baseline level of trust necessary for evidence-informed decisions to be made. With greater trust, decisions can be made more efficiently, effectively, and dynamically.
This webinar explores how different M&E experts across Sub-Saharan Africa have deployed different strategies, tools, and communication approaches to build greater trust with decision-makers. While many contexts across Sub-Saharan Africa are different, this webinar aims to establish some common patterns that can arise both in processes of monitoring & evaluation and change. By establishing what those common patterns are, it can provide the baseline context to consider context-appropriate solutions.
