ATELIER DE RENFORCEMENT DES CAPACITÉS EN MATÈIRE DE SUIVI ET D’ÉVALUATION TWENDE MBELE JUILLET 2024
Juillet 2024
L’objectif de cet atelier de renforcement des capacités de 3 jours est de construire et d’augmenter les capacités de S&E existantes parmi les fonctionnaires des gouvernements membres de Twende Mbele : Bénin, Ghana, Kenya, Niger, Afrique du Sud et Niger. En particulier, cet atelier de renforcement des capacités doit continuer à souligner l’importance de la création d’un cadre de professionnels du S&E, de planificateurs et de fonctionnaires du budget qui apprécient la valeur des informations de S&E dans la planification du secteur public, l’élaboration des politiques, la budgétisation et les cycles et processus de mise en oeuvre.
Cet atelier de renforcement des capacités poursuit donc la mission de Twende Mbele qui consiste à combler le fossé entre le S&E et les processus de gouvernance essentiels que sont la planification, l’élaboration des politiques, la budgétisation et la mise en oeuvre. L’atelier sera co-animé en anglais et en français, et se veut interactif, afin de combler le fossé entre la théorie et le discours du S&E, et son applicabilité dans l’administration publique et les systèmes politiques.
TWENDE MBELE M&E CAPACITY BUILDING WORKSHOP JULY 2024
July 2024
The purpose of this 3-day capacity building workshop is to build and augment existing M&E capacities among public officials of the Twende Mbele member governments: Benin, Ghana, Kenya, Niger, South Africa and Niger. In particular, this capacity building workshop is to continue highlighting the importance of building a cadre of M&E professionals, planners and budget officials who have an appreciation of the value of M&E information in informing public sector planning, policymaking budgeting and implementation cycles and processes.
This capacity building workshop therefore continues Twende Mbele’s mission of bridging the gap between M&E and critical governance processes of planning, policymaking, budgeting and implementation. The workshop is to be co-facilitated in English and French, and is intended to be interactive, so as to bridge the gap between M&E theory and discourse, and its applicability in public administration and political systems.

Capacity Building Workshop on the Evaluation of Public Policy – Niger 2024
July 2024
The evaluation of public policies is an essential practice that enables governments to measure the effectiveness, efficiency and impact of their actions on the country’s socio-economic development. In Niger, the need to strengthen this practice is all the more pressing given the challenges of development, management of public resources and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These challenges are amplified by a changing environment, marked by increased demands for transparency and accountability towards citizens and international partners.
This training workshop on public policy evaluation comes at a strategic time, when Niger, like other developing countries, is seeking to improve governance and administrative efficiency through well-founded and effectively evaluated public policies. The training aims to equip participants with the skills needed to conduct rigorous evaluations, thereby contributing to better decision-making and more effective management of public programmes. It is designed to meet a crucial need for capacity-building among those directly or indirectly involved in the evaluation of public policies.
Niger’s recently adopted National Evaluation Policy (Politique Nationale d’Évaluation – PNE) is a strategic framework designed to systematise the evaluation of public policies, programmes and projects at all levels of government. It is designed to promote a culture of accountability, transparency and continuous improvement of public services. The training workshop is fully in line with the objectives of the NCB, as it seeks to develop and strengthen the skills needed for the effective implementation of this policy. In particular, this training is in line with the specific objective of the NCB, which is to develop institutional and technical evaluation capacities in Niger. It aims to equip government players, policy-makers and evaluation practitioners with the knowledge and skills they need to conduct evaluations in line with international standards and adapted to Niger’s specific circumstances. By equipping participants with these tools, the workshop will make a direct contribution to achieving the NCB’s ambitions in terms of governance and the performance of public policies.
This training course therefore represents a crucial step in the operationalisation of the NCB and in the Nigerien government’s ongoing effort to improve public governance through a strengthened evaluative culture. It is envisaged as a catalyst for more rigorous and transparent governance practices, which are essential for the country’s sustainable development.
