Building Africa's Autonomy amid the Changing Landscape of International Cooperation (Webinar)

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.

This webinar, organized by CLEAR Francophone Africa and the Global Evaluation Initiative (GEI), explores how evaluation can help Africa build the autonomy it needs to cope with the changing landscape of international cooperation.
