Evaluation Capacity Development Seminar
From 8 until 20 October 2018, the Special Evaluation Office of the Belgian Development Cooperation and the Institute of Development Policy( University of Antwerp) jointly organise the Evaluation Capacity Development Seminar: Strengthening National M & E capacities: National Evaluation Societies as a Driving Force This two-week capacity development seminar aims to bring together leading evaluation experts( members of National Evaluation Societies, VOPE) in developing countries to strengthen those evaluation societies in taking up the role of developing national M & E capacities and use. The capacity development seminar wants to attract evaluation experts from the government sector, civil society, parliament, audit offices, donor agencies, private sector and academia. All participants should have a university degree, professional expertise in M & E( mid-level to high level professionals) and be a national of a country with whom Belgium has signed a Common Strategic Framework Agreement. Eight to ten country teams, each team composed of a maximum of three M & E experts ideally from different sectors( government, civil society, academia, …) will be selected and granted a scholarship financed by the Special Office of the Belgian Development Cooperation. Evaluation societies should thus encourage several of their members to apply!
