Interesting reflections from Mr Vincent Ssenyondo, AfrEA regional Representative, as he emphasize on the need for professionalisation of Evaluation. #AfrEA25
"Uganda has commissioned 46 evaluations, but gov'nment can't commission evaluations alone as there are too many programs & policies that need evaluating. Decentralized evaluation is the way forward, with more non-gov'nment actors commissioning them." - Timothy Lubanga #AfrEA25

Vincent Ssenyondo highlighting the difficulty of Young Emerging Evaluators (YEE) being absorbed in the evaluation space so that they ply their trade and horn their skills. This is becoming a common theme in #AfrEA25 #AfrEA2025 @tweet_afrea @CLEARAA1

"The DPME is collaborating with a wide range of partners in the private sector, departments, and higher education institutions to improve evaluation literacy and technical know-how." - Thokozile Molaiwa @tweet_afrea @CLEARAA1 #AfrEA25 #AfrEA2025

"Tanzania has been mobilizing resources to build more M&E champions in the youth and females to broaden the discussion of M&E and build a demand for M&E evidence by these groups" - Sakina Mwinyimkuu @tweet_afrea @CLEARAA1 #AfrEA25 #AfrEA2025
