Africa Evaluation Indaba

Transforming evaluation for equity and social justice.

The Indaba is inspired by our commitment to the Made-in-Africa evaluation agenda. It is the continuation of a long-term conversation and engagement around indigenization of evaluation – creating a platform for M&E practitioners and academics to share experiences, approaches, methods and practices that honour indigenous ways of knowing, methods and approaches fit for the African context.

The second edition of the Indaba coincides with the tenth-year anniversary since the hosting of the African Thought Leaders Forum on Evaluation and Development. The Forum was instrumental in laying foundations for the articulation of the Made in Africa Evaluation (MAE) paradigm and the broader efforts in indigenizing Evaluations in Africa. The Forum could be located within a broader agenda in transforming Evaluation practice within the continent. The Indaba positions itself as an honour to earlier efforts in transforming Evaluation practice to embody equity and social justice.
