Save the dates! The 2024 AfDB Development Evaluation Week will be held in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, from 17th to 19th September 2024.
Africa faces pressing challenges amidst its journey towards transformative change and prosperity. From political instability and economic disparities to environmental concerns, social inequality, and healthcare issues, among others, African nations are navigating through rough seas of adversity. Evidence drawn from evaluations can uncover opportunities to meet those challenges.
The theme of the 6th edition of Evaluation Week, "Navigating rough seas towards a brighter horizon for Africa," sets the stage for exploring how improving the acquisition and utilization of evaluative knowledge can trigger innovative responses. This flagship event will provide a platform for advocating and facilitating dialogue on the critical use of evaluative knowledge in Africa, with a specific focus on evidence needed for monitoring progress, enhancing accountability, promoting learning and adaptation, guiding resource allocation, establishing and nurturing partnerships, and fostering stakeholder engagement.
