Youth and Evidence Use Culture : The Contribution of the Institute LE BAROMETRE
Webinar | Online
About the Event
The African Institute for Monitoring and Impact Evaluation of Development Policies, Programs and Projects called LE BAROMETRE has launched in 2021 a layered capacity-building initiative for emerging French-speaking evaluators known as the "Camp des Evaluateurs Emergents Francophones". This evaluation bootcamp initiative has already been carried out in three countries (Benin, Niger and Togo) and is currently in its 7th edition. Following an evaluation of the initiative using the SWOT analytical framework, supported by semi-structured interviews with resource persons and a sample of participants from the various editions in different countries, it emerged that youth capacity building in evaluation needs to be integrated into a model that promotes the accessibility and use of evidence at decentralized level, to feed the efforts being made at central level.
In this webinar, a team of LE BAROMETRE intends to share the lessons leart from the experiences compiled from the various Evaluation Bootcamps for Emerging Francophone Evaluators (Camp des Evaluateurs Emergents Francophones) that it has organized, and at the same time solicit the extension of its collaboration to new partners with a view to further promoting the production, accessibility and use of evidence in the age of digitalization.
