Business Management Jobs in Ghana

African Evaluation Association (AfrEA) is a non-profit umbrella organisation of national monitoring and evaluation associations and networks operating in Africa, as well as a leading source of quality evaluation methodologies essential for individual evaluators in countries where bodies do not exist.

Despite the existence of a few national evaluation networks in Africa, evaluation capacity-building efforts were mostly driven by international development organisations. African evaluators operated in an isolated context, often unable to mobilise necessary resources and capacities crucial to facilitate effective up-scaling of evaluation practices within countries.
