This month’s edition features a reflective piece by Parfait Kasongo on Uganda Evaluation Week, marking 25 years of the Uganda Evaluation Association and sharing insights on strengthening evidence use, institutionalising evaluation systems, and advancing African-led development through collaboration, innovation, and capacity building.
We also feature Peter Taylor’s and Brigitte Rohwerder’s call to reorient global development around the priorities and leadership of citizens, especially marginalised communities, to advance more inclusive, trust-based, and locally grounded approaches in a changing global context.
In this month’s blog post, Charity Chisoro shares insights from the AEN Manifesto Innovation Challenge webinar, exploring how African-centred innovation, collaboration, indigenous knowledge, multilingual inclusion, and responsible AI use can advance evidence-informed decision-making across Africa.
We also keep you abreast of the latest EIDM opportunities, academic journal articles, and upcoming evidence events.
We welcome and encourage your contributions to the AEN newsletter and blog! To share your work or interesting stories from your country or organisation on either of these platforms, send an email to info@africaevidencenetwork.org.
