Global development priorities are shifting, and international cooperation is being redefined. What does this mean for Africa?
The face of international cooperation is changing. Donors are reevaluating their priorities, creating a notable shift in the movement of development funding.
While these changes present challenges, they also open up a vital conversation about how Africa can strengthen its autonomy, shape its own development, and ensure that its public policies are aligned with local needs.
We will explore how evaluation can help Africa build the autonomy it needs to cope with the changing landscape of international cooperation.
Join the conversation on April 17, from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM (EDT). English and French translations will be provided during the webinar.
This event is organised by the Center for Learning on Evaluation and Results for Francophone Africa (CLEAR-FA) and the Global Evaluation Initiative.
