ABOUT THE 1^ST ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Are M&E policies, systems, education and training working for Africa?  What is the evidence? Are policies, programs, projects and related interventions in Africa delivering value?  Are our M&E policies, systems, education and trainings effective and effective in addressing the continent’s complex “wicked problems’? The 1^st Annual Conference in Kisumu City, Kenya from 26^th– 28^th April 2023, will interrogate these issues.
