About the Event
The National Evaluation Capacities Index (INCE) initiative was developed in collaboration with a number of diverse stakeholders from the Latin America and the Caribbean region. The INCE presents a collaborative diagnostic that assesses evaluation capacities and practices in the field of public policies, programs and services. Recently, a working group with the participation of the government institutions has been established to undertake similar process in sub-Saharan Africa. For this roundtable, we will bring together key actors from national evaluation systems in LAC and Sub-Saharan Africa to discuss what cultural and contextual factors were taken into account when developing the INCE and how these aspects would need to be reflected in the Index if measure in Sub-Saharan Africa. Join us for this exciting cross-regional exchange!
