Young and emerging evaluators in the Caribbean. The role and prospects of young evaluators for the future of MEAL in the region.
圆桌会议
About the Event
MEAL practices are rapidly emerging in the Caribbean region as a way to promote more effective policymaking in the face of climate change, COVID-19 response, and limited resources. As MEAL grows the need for professionals is also growing and a cadre of young evaluation practitioners starts to develop and becomes more relevant. Existing networks such as CEI and national VOPEs foster this growth and can be strengthened with the collaboration of international networks such as EvalYouth. Young emerging evaluators from the region will present their views on the future of M&E in the Caribbean and discuss the main strengths and challenges they face.
