Atelier de renforcement des capacités au Niger
Atelier de renforcement des capacités au Niger -Dosso, Juillet 2024
Le Niger, comme de nombreux pays et organisations, accorde une grande importance au développement de la pratique de l’évaluation des actions de développement et des politiques publiques. C’est dans cette optique que les autorités nigériennes ont adopté une Politique Nationale d’Évaluation (PNE) ayant pour objectif global de promouvoir une bonne gouvernance et, plus spécifiquement, de développer la culture de l’évaluation au Niger. La mise en œuvre de cette politique nécessite des compétences solides dans ce domaine, qui sont actuellement insuffisantes dans le pays. Il est donc essentiel de renforcer les capacités nationales en matière d’évaluation afin de permettre une pratique évaluative plus efficace.
L’objectif spécifique est de renforcer les capacités des participants en évaluation des politiques publiques pour développer leurs capacités techniques et leurs compétences institutionnelles à mener des évaluations.

Monitoring Systems in Africa Book Launch
Join us for a virtual launch of the ‘Monitoring Systems in Africa’ book, edited by Caitlin Blaser Mapitsa and Catherine Churchill.
This volume of the book presents a holistic approach to monitoring systems. This includes a range of purposes that monitoring practices serve, followed by a selection of the components of a monitoring system, and then presents case studies of monitoring systems. The aim of the book is to explore monitoring as a practice on its own, related but not constricted to its framing in performance management or evaluation.
