Événement en ligne
À propos de l'événement
The primary purpose and objective of this webinar co-organized by APNODE & TSUE, is to highlight: a) the evolution of evidence-use within African Parliaments; and, b) governance implications of the impact of COVID-19 for African countries. Discussions will touch on developments in M&E, notably how innovations in data collection, analysis, and use are shaping evaluation demand and utilization within Parliaments. Further, the institutionalization of evaluation and its recognition as a powerful tool of governance will be addressed, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Specifically the discussions will interrogate the role of MPs and Parliament as an institution to uphold good governance in times of crisis; dialogue on the extent to which the governance systems and institutions within African countries, are capacitated to assist and guide the recovery of African countries post-COVID-19; and what challenges are faced and opportunities presented, in MPs efforts to ensure good governance, evidence-led development, and the attainment of SDGs by 2030.
Panelists will draw on their lived experiences, country-contexts, and the wider African situations to address the above-mentioned issues. Their discussions will center on issues of the regulatory, legislative, and related institutional systems and processes that need to be in place, and/or strengthened to enable African countries to not only achieve a meaningful post-recovery from COVID-19, but also put them on a right track to attain their SDG targets. In so doing, the session will tease-out and highlight the governance systems that shape evidence-use, accountability and probity, as well as various institutional structures and an enabling environment aimed toward fostering socio-economic development in a post-COVID-19 Africa.
