About the Event
The institutionalization of evaluation is crucial for promoting evidence-based policymaking, program development, and implementation. However, in the MENA region, evaluation remains underdeveloped and faces several challenges, including a lack of institutionalization, limited capacity, and inadequate funding. This event aims to bring together policy-makers, evaluators, young professionals, and other stakeholders in the MENA region to discuss the institutionalization of evaluation and explore solutions to the challenges faced by the region.
Participants in the event will learn about best practices for institutionalizing evaluation, including strategies for developing policies, building evaluation capacity, and fostering collaborations among stakeholders. Additionally, the event will highlight the role of parliamentarians and the private sector in promoting evaluation institutionalization, as well as the potential benefits of incorporating youth perspectives in evaluation practices.
Finally, the event will present a new methodology/tool for promoting evaluation institutionalization in the MENA region. This methodology/tool will be designed to address the challenges faced by the region and provide stakeholders with practical guidance for developing and implementing evaluation policies and practices.
Overall, this event will be an opportunity for stakeholders in the MENA region to come together, share their experiences and expertise, and explore solutions for institutionalizing evaluation. It will provide a platform for participants to learn from one another and foster collaborations to advance evaluation practices and promote evidence-based decision-making in the region.
