Sobre o evento
The emergence of the Global Evaluation Initiative comes at a critical point for the Evaluation Capacity Development (ECD) community. Various developmental challenges in the global economy necessitate greater undertaking of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and use of evidence thereof to respond to crises such as global economic shocks brought about by the global health pandemic (COVID-19) of the past two years. Added to these global challenges, fundamental and long-running socio-economic and political challenges have constrained socio-economic development and environmental sustainability for a while in the Global South. The Anglophone African environment within which the Centre for Learning on Evaluation and Results-Anglophone Africa (CLEAR-AA) works is not insulated from the said socio-economic, political, and environmental challenges. CLEAR-AA is in an ECD transitional phase that seeks to operationalize the GEI alliance’s priorities, namely: gender and equity; state fragility and conflict; youth empowerment; and climate change adaptability.
The developmental priorities of GEI necessitate CLEAR-AA to now pivot from sectoral ECD, having established central M&E mechanisms and infrastructure with public sector oversight institutions. In this panel session, we will discuss key lessons CLEAR-AA has learned from its first two phases of ECD:
Phase 1 focused on evaluation capacity building [individual training] and
Phase 2 focused on system wide ECD interventions targeting institutions and individuals), as well as how we plan to apply these lessons when pivoting to sectoral work, where M&E systems are most sustainable.
Phase 3 the Centre will also experiment with innovative M&E approaches such as the application of Made in Africa Evaluation methodologies in this third phase of CLEAR-AA ‘s ECD mission, while not excluding experimentation with technological means of data collection for M&E in the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).
