This resource sets out the African Evaluation Principles, developed by the African Evaluation Association (AfrEA), for use by "individuals, organisations and coalitions who finance, commission, manage, conduct and educate about evaluation in Africa."
The African Evaluation Principles replace the African Evaluation Guidelines from 2002. The principles, generated using a broad-based consultative process, bring an important and relevant perspective to broader dialogue about evaluator competencies and evaluation principles.
Five key principles are presented, to provide an overall framework guiding good evalution practice in Africa:
- The evaluation empowers Africans
- The evaluation is technically robust
- The evaluation is ethically sound
- The evaluation is rooted in Africa, yet draws from across the world
- The evaluation shows the connectedness of the world, with special attention to where humanity’s footprint calls for new ideas and knowledge for change and transformation.
