1. THE IMPORTANCE OF EVALUATION IN AFRICA
Monitoring and evaluation (referred to in this proposal as “M&E” or “evaluation”) is a rapidly growing
field of specialisation among professionals in Africa. Several factors have contributed to this trend.
Many African nations now have democratically elected governments and pursue new ideals. In
countries across the continent there is thus a greater awareness of the need for accountable
governance and the wise use of resources to achieve the levels of development demanded by
increasingly more informed and vocal societies. Failures in development on the continent during past
decades as well as dwindling resources for development have resulted in the urgent pursuit of new
methods and approaches as well as calls for greater relevance, effectiveness and efficiency in the use
of available resources for governance and development.
Furthermore, a greater awareness of the need to understand and accommodate local contexts, values
and perceptions has accelerated the shift of evaluation from being almost exclusively in the domain of
international evaluators used by donor agencies to scrutinise policies, organisations, programmes and
projects on the continent to satisfy their own (donors’) requirements. More than ever before African
evaluators are called upon to assist in setting up M&E systems and evaluating interventions at
regional, national or local level.
Yet old perceptions and obstacles remain. In spite of the fact that Africa is one of the primary targets
for evaluation activities, African expertise in evaluation is often not available to, or recognised by,
international contracting agencies or by African governments and organisations. Outdated evaluation
approaches and methodologies are rife among evaluators and commissioning agencies, and even
these methods are often applied in a less than adequate way to produce incorrect conclusions and
recommendations.
This situation brings a host of new challenges to the evaluation profession in Africa as well as to those
commissioning evaluations. Evaluators in conjunction with their clients have significant power to bring
about change. Their methods and recommendations can bring organisations, programmes and
projects to their knee. On the other hand, if evaluators and commissioning agencies focus on the use
of monitoring and evaluation systems, their insights and methods can contribute greatly to better
governance, management and development at community, national or regional level.
Evaluators thus carry an awe-inspiring responsibility to do justice to the challenges of their work. This
means that good evaluators working in Africa have to have many essential qualities, among others
high quality, relevant and often innovative evaluation approaches and methods, sound and incisive
reasoning, strategic insights, acute sensitivity to context, and ethical conduct under all circumstances.
Furthermore, evaluators are working in rapidly-changing contexts at global, regional and national
level. Development has been re-conceptualised to focus not only on economic progress, but to
include dimensions of human rights, individual freedoms, increasing choices and capacities to
choose, and sustainability after donor funding is withdrawn. Past evaluations tended to focus almost
exclusively on donor-funded projects and programmes, rather than on policies and institutional and
other frameworks within which development was taking place. Some of the new challenges are
highlighted in a recent concept paper by the International Development Evaluation Association1. It
states among others:
1 From: Rethinking Development Evaluation, a concept paper prepared for an IDEAS Symposium, March 2004
Proposal for the Third AfrEA Conference, 1-4 Dec 2004
July 2004 2
“Little attention was paid to how single projects and programs helped attain the larger
goals of development, not to mention to the multidimensionality of development
involving various actors (public, private, third sector) from developed and developing
countries working in partnership to achieve common ends. All this poses new issues of
relevance, sustainability and contribution to goal achievement.”
It is now the right time to concentrate efforts and resources on renewal in evaluation in Africa, and on
building the capacities of evaluators as well as evaluation clients to meet the challenges posed by
changing contexts and new requirements. IF evaluation is to contribute effectively (as it can) to the
development of the continent towards prosperity and the enhanced well-being of its citizens, all
governments, agencies and organisations interested in good governance and management, and in
effective and efficient development on the continent, should become partners in a major effort towards
the promotion of, and renewal in, evaluation in Africa.
2. THE EMERGENCE OF THE AFRICAN EVALUATION ASSOCIATION (AfrEA)
Until 1999 there were few opportunities to network and share development evaluation experiences in
Africa. Evaluators worked in isolation. They were seldom trained in evaluation approaches,
methodology and standards, and tended to be technical specialists or management consultants who
were also occasionally called upon to develop monitoring systems or to do evaluations. Although
some national evaluation networks existed, they were isolated and often unable to generate the
required capacities and resources to facilitate effective networking and sharing of experiences and
lessons within and between African countries. Evaluation capacity building efforts were sporadic and
driven by individual interests or the interests of international development aid organisations. Few
attempts were made to nurture advanced level evaluation expertise, to promote training aimed at
African contexts and evaluation approaches or to highlight African evaluation expertise on
international platforms.
The African Evaluation Association (AfrEA) was founded in 1999 to address some of these concerns.
It was established as an umbrella association for national evaluation associations and focused on
enhancing evaluation capacity and promoting evaluation standards on the continent. It was
established at an opportune time. Its focus on sound monitoring and evaluation theory and practice
supports NEPAD and other initiatives on the continent that aim to promote transparency,
accountability and efficiency around government performance. It thus supports the promotion and
advancement of democracy in Africa. It also enhances efforts to improve governance and
management systems in a variety of sectors and to increase the accountability of public and
development institutions to civil society
During the past five years AfrEA has been active in a number of areas. Some of the highlights include:
i) Since the establishment of AfrEA in 1999, the number of formal and informal national evaluation
networks and associations in Africa has increased, often with AfrEA help, from six to 17, of which at
least 13 remain active. Several more are in the process of establishment.
Proposal for the Third AfrEA Conference, 1-4 Dec 2004

ii) It facilitated the development of the African Evaluation Guidelines (AEG), adapted from the
International Programme Evaluation Standards to suit African contexts. The African Evaluation
Guidelines were developed by seven national African evaluation associations as a guide to enhancing
the quality of evaluation on the continent. The Guidelines provide a checklist of 30 items essential for
quality assurance in evaluation. They have already been used by several institutions, including
governments, in major programme evaluations.
iii) An AfrEA website has been developed and updated. Among others it contains a database with
detailed skills profiles of evaluators in Africa, evaluation training materials and other evaluation
resources, information about associations and networks, news and opportunities.
iv) In order to stimulate networking and the sharing of
experiences and information, AfrEA organised two
conferences for African evaluators and others with
an interest in evaluation. The first Inaugural
Conference was held in Nairobi, Kenya in
September 1999. It was attended by more than
350 evaluators and development practitioners
from 35 countries; 88 papers on evaluation in
Africa were presented. Michael Quinn Patton,
world renowned expert in evaluation, trained the
conference participants for four hours each day.
His sessions were extremely well received and his
training text Utilization-Focused Evaluation in
Africa is regarded as one of the most useful
training documents freely available on the
continent.
v) The Second AfrEA Conference was also held in
Nairobi on 10-14 June 2002. It brought together
evaluators, researchers, policy makers, evaluation
users and donors from Africa, Europe, Asia, New
Zealand, Colombia and the USA. Discussions and
presentations on major development issues in
Africa were held in 12 topical strands. Evaluation
training was done by three eminent evaluators
from New Zealand, the USA and Peru. During the
final plenary and the subsequent meeting between
the national leaders and donors, several decisions were taken about the future of AfrEA.
Recommendations aimed at taking the Association into a next phase of development were accepted.
An Executive Committee was constituted and key priorities identified. Among others it was decided
that the Third AfrEA Conference would be held in South Africa.
vi) AfrEA facilitated funding to bring evaluation leaders from the national associations to the launch of the
International Organisation for Cooperation in Evaluation (IOCE) in Africa to the Inaugural meeting in
Lima, Peru. This enabled Africa to have two representatives on the IOCE Board. The AfrEA
Chairperson was elected as one of the two Vice-Presidents. The meeting also provided the national

leaders with the opportunity to meet and discuss matters of mutual interest, as well as strategies for
work and communication in AfrEA.
vii) AfrEA initiated or supported several evaluation capacity building courses held in various countries,
and AfrEA representatives attended and contributed to a number of international events and planning
meetings.
viii) AfrEA formed a partnership with UNIFEM to develop a network of gender and development evaluation
specialists from across Africa who can advise organisations and develop best practice in gender and
development evaluation in Africa. Twenty-five highly qualified evaluators are currently members of this
network, which is linked to a broader network of more than 150 organisations and individuals
interested in gender evaluation. In November 2003 a joint UNIFEM/AfrEA workshop was held in South
Africa to build Africa-wide capacity in gender and rights-based evaluation.
3. AfrEA SPONSORS
To date AfrEA has enjoyed the sponsorship of a number of influential organisations, to which it is
greatly indebted for their assistance during the crucial first phase of the organisation’s existence. In
particular, UNICEF ESARO in Nairobi has played a leading role in providing resources and facilitating
the creation of AfrEA, and in accommodating and supporting the AfrEA Secretariat between 1999 and
2002.
Sponsors of AfrEA activities since 1999 include:
African Development Bank
Agence Intergouvernementale de la Francophonie
Catholic Relief Services
Canadian Institutes for Health
Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)
CARE International
Danish Agency for Development Assistance (DANIDA)
Family Health International (FHI)

4. THE NEED FOR FURTHER SUPPORT OF EVALUATION IN AFRICA
Initiatives such as NEPAD, as well as increased democracy and the subscription of governments to
good governance via structures such as the Commonwealth Association of Public Service
Management (CAPAM), means that there is much demand for evaluation. The capacity in the different
parts of the continent varies, but it is still far from optimal, and most evaluations remain externally
funded and driven. This situation has not assisted in building the capacity or confidence of evaluators
from Africa to genuinely engage with important and controversial evaluation issues.
It has been widely documented that evaluation assists in the promotion of good governance, and it is
important that the momentum that has been built-up to date is not lost. During the past three years
AfrEA has started to build a sense of evaluation community in Africa, yet there is a great need to
intensify efforts to develop evaluation and to promote it more effectively across the continent.
African evaluation experts are very often absent from international evaluation platforms, conferences
and evaluation planning meetings. A recent list of those who had contributed to evaluation in the world
during past decades contained only one person from Africa among more than 100 evaluators. The
lack of published evaluation research from Africa contributes to this situation. Where expertise exists,
experiences are not formally shared through publication in peer reviewed literature or through
conference presentations. Systematic research and comparative studies integrating development
practice and theory, and evaluation practice and theory are not adequately done, in spite of the rich
experiences of evaluators who have worked in Africa.
Donors often seek a coordinated entry point for the initiation of capacity building and information
sharing initiatives. Several national evaluation networks are still pursuing the capacity to drive national
initiatives effectively; in other instances networks still need to be established. The new spirit of
accountability and self-help on the continent requires a firm focus on accountability and performance,
and hence will need strong national evaluation networks to support such initiatives with indigenous
evaluation expertise. This will furthermore require the strengthening of evaluation quality and
standards on the continent.
It is critically important that Africa becomes one of the leading voices and implementers in the field of
development evaluation. Evaluation needs to be an empowering activity that is well understood and
implemented in the relevant African contexts by practitioners, implementers, managers, donors and
governments. A pool of knowledge in this regard needs to be built up around policies, institutions,
programmes and projects in Africa and shared effectively to enhance evaluation practice on the
continent. Only then will evaluation in Africa contribute to development that is sustainable after
external funders have withdrawn.
AfrEA remains well positioned as an important instrument in helping to address all of the above in
conjunction with the national leaders of evaluation associations and networks on the continent. The
Third Conference of the African Evaluation Association comes at an opportune time and has been
conceptualised to make a major contribution in this regard.

5. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE THIRD AFREA CONFERENCE
The Cape Town Conference will assist evaluation on the continent in a number of ways:
There is an urgent need for renewal in evaluation
rationale, approaches and methods in Africa. The
Conference will provide a forum at which
governments, donors, NGOs, civil society
representatives, evaluators and other influential
stakeholders can raise issues, listen to one another
and work towards ways in which evaluation can be
made more meaningful and useful for development
on the continent.
Since the uptake of evaluation has not been the
same in all African countries, there is an urgent need
for the sharing of lessons between evaluation
associations, and between individual evaluators, in
order to sustain the momentum that has been
developed since 1999.
It is now five years since the inception of AfrEA and
there is need for serious reflection in order to
strengthen and refine the strategy of the
organisation.
The timing of this conference is ideal in that it links
with regional initiatives such as NEPAD and CAPAM.
It is foreseen that representatives from these
organisations would be involved with the
Conference. It is important that the appropriate
synergies be harnessed and further developed.
Academic institutions across the continent have begun to offer courses in evaluation. It would be
extremely useful if practitioners and academics are able to network in order to share curricula and
methodologies, and to form partnerships to further strengthen their capacity and extend their reach.
It would be possible to move beyond traditional participants by drawing in representatives from civil
society and Members of Parliament. This will also ensure political buy-in and help to demystify
evaluation. One of the problems encountered within the evaluation community is the fact that
findings tend not to be used. Given that there is a commitment to utilisation-focused evaluation, this
will be an opportunity for exciting, interactive exchanges.
Conference Objectives
i. To stimulate and plan for renewal in
evaluation in Africa
ii. To debate, develop and demonstrate
the role that evaluation should play in
promoting democracy, good
governance and effective
development in Africa
iii. To showcase African evaluation
expertise and achievements
iv. To create a forum for the interaction
of representatives from various
sectors
v. To provide opportunities for sharing
technical expertise and insights
between African and international
specialists
vi. To build capacity on the continent
among evaluators and their clients
vii. To encourage a better understanding
of the articulation in Africa between
evaluation theory and practice, and
development theory and practice.

6. CONFERENCE DETAILS
Conference Theme
Africa Matters, Evaluation Matters: Joining Forces for Democracy, Governance and
Development
Venue
Holiday Inn Conference Centre, Cape Town, South Africa
Date
1-4 December 2004
Pre-conference professional development workshops and meetings will be held on 29-30 November.
Primary Target Groups
Approximately 500 participants are expected from all over Africa and from other parts of the world.
Primary target groups are
Evaluators
African Government officials and politicians
Representatives of non-government and civil society organisations engaged in M&E
Representatives of national, regional and international development and donor institutions
Civil society representatives
Academic staff and students
Approach
The Conference will be designed to stimulate renewal in evaluation in Africa and bring evaluators,
evaluation clients, governments and development practitioners up to date with the latest
developments in evaluation in the areas covered by the training activities, the special sessions and
the technical strands.
Participants will be encouraged to challenge conventional evaluation wisdom and to highlight lessons
and innovations in evaluation approaches and methodology.
All Conference contributions will be expected to contain some analysis to reflect at least one of the
dimensions of the Conference theme.
One of the key Conference outputs has to be a new vision and strategies that can launch - through
effective partnerships - a new phase in African evaluation which will strengthen evaluation on the
continent for democracy, good governance and management, and effective development.
The Conference will be structured to provide many opportunities for interaction among specific interest
groups, and between evaluators and those sectors with whom they normally would not share and
debate ideas and experiences.

The Conference theme has synergies with that of the European Evaluation Society (EES) Conference
(www.europeanevaluation.org) to be held in September, and with that of the Latin America and the
Caribbean Network of Monitoring, Evaluation and Systematization (ReLAC) Conference to be held in
October 2004 (www.preval.org), which will focus on the theme “Evaluation, democracy and
governance: Challenges for Latin America". AfrEA and ReLAC, and possibly EES (still to be
approached) aim to compare the issues and solutions offered by the experiences on the two
continents and to use this knowledge to develop a better understanding of the factors influencing
evaluation across cultures and geographic borders in developing contexts
This comparative approach will support the objectives of the International Organisation for
Cooperation in Evaluation (IOCE) which is an umbrella organisation for evaluation associations across
the world which furthers the international understanding of and collaboration in evaluation (Read more
about the IOCE in www.ioce.net).
Structure
The Conference will be based on a series of plenary and special sessions as well as technical
strands, several of which will run in parallel at any given time. (Note that Monitoring is usually included
in the concept of Evaluation).
Plenary Sessions include presentations by the Presidents of the International Organisation for
Cooperation in Evaluation (IOCE), and of the International Development Evaluation Association
(IDEAS) respectively:
i. Internationalising Evaluation – implications for Africa
ii. Africa in the Evaluation Renaissance
The Special Sessions are:
i. Evaluation in a Culturally Diverse World
ii. Re-thinking Development Evaluation in the African Context
iii. Developing Evaluation Capacity in Africa
The Technical Strands are:
i. Innovation in M&E Methods and Approaches in Africa
ii. Community-based M&E
iii. M&E for Good Governance
iv. M&E, NEPAD and other Regional Initiatives
v. M&E and Poverty Reduction

Partners
Funding partnerships (see below) are currently being negotiated and established, while a number of
Conference endorsements are being sought, among others from relevant South African Government
Departments such as Public Service and Administration, National Treasury, Environmental Affairs and
Tourism, and The Presidency.
International and South African organisations as well as government departments (such as Public
Service and Administration, Provincial and Local Government, Office of the Public Service
Commission, National Treasury) will be invited to host specific sessions.
Major players in the international evaluation arena, such as the International Organisation for
Cooperation in Evaluation (IOCE), the International Development Evaluation Association (IDEAS),
and the OECD/DAC Network on Development Evaluation have also agreed to host Special Sessions,
while others are still being approached in this regard. Please inform us if your organisation is
interested in hosting a session.
Exhibition
In order to maximise exposure at the Conference, opportunities will be given to interested
organisations across the continent and elsewhere to display evaluation resource exhibits at the
Conference venue.
Translation
AfrEA regards the participation of French speaking African countries in the Conference as essential to
its success, and English/French and French/English translation services will be provided wherever
possible as far as resources allow, taking cognisance of the fact that these services are exceedingly
expensive. Materials will as far as possible be provided in English and in French.
Special Meeting of the South African Evaluation Network (SAENet)
For the past two years the South African Evaluation Network has been operating in an informal
manner using a listserv and seminars to facilitate information sharing and promote interaction within
the local evaluation community. The Conference provides an excellent opportunity to move the
Network to a next phase of development. A special meeting will be held to plan the way forward for
the next two years, either as Network or as a formal evaluation Association.
7. CONFERENCE ORGANISATION
The Conference will be organised by the AfrEA Secretariat in conjunction with representatives from
the South African Evaluation Network, the South African Government and the AfrEA Executive
Committee.
The AfrEA Secretariat has significant experience in organising events of a similar nature and scope.
Expertise will be contracted in as required.

where possible, the communication systems of other governments in Africa.
10. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Proposal for the Third AfrEA Conference, 1-4 Dec 2004
July 2004 11
Two institutions will be used to manage the funding, and funding partners will be in a position to
choose if they have a specific preference. The AfrEA Chairperson will be responsible for ensuring
appropriate management systems for the Conference funding, which will include auditing of the
Conference accounts.
The two institutions that will be authorised to manage the funds on behalf of AfrEA both have a
proven, highly credible reputation for the management of grant funding from local and international
sources. They are:
The Financial Administration of the University of the Free State, South Africa. The University
charges 7% of the total income for the management of the Conference account. More information
about the University of the Free State can be found at www.uovs.ac.za.
Evalnet, an evaluation consultancy located in Johannesburg, South Africa, currently provides the
facilities for the AfrEA Secretariat and has handled the financial management of several audited
grants at no or minimal cost on behalf of AfrEA. In this case the charges for the management of the
total Conference account will be US$3 500 in total, including the auditing costs. More information
about Evalnet can be found at www.evalnet.co.za.
11. BUDGET
The Conference will be organised to the highest professional standards, should resources allow.
The total budget for the Conference amounts to ZAR 2,021,000 (USD 321,000).
The budget components are given in the table in Annex 2. Budgeting has been done accurately and
detailed breakdowns of each of these components can be provided upon request.
12. FUNDING PARTNERSHIPS
The Conference will be funded mainly through grants from organisations that share AfrEA’s vision and
efforts to contribute to development on the continent. In order to encourage attendance by all
interested individuals and organisations, registration fees were not charged for the first two
conferences in order to encourage attendance among all sectors from as many countries in Africa as
possible. A final decision will soon be taken with respect to charging registration fees for the Third
Conference, as the costs to hold the event in Cape Town are significantly higher than in Nairobi.
Even if registration fees are charged, these will be kept as low as possible in order not to discourage
anyone from attending the event during this important stage of AfrEA’s development. A significant
amount of sponsorship will still be needed to ensure that the conference costs are covered.
AfrEA therefore wishes to partner with organisations and businesses who want to reach, support and
strengthen the evaluation community in Africa. Sponsorship opportunities are focused on
i. bringing notable presenters to the Conference (not included in the budget);
Proposal for the Third AfrEA Conference, 1-4 Dec 2004
July 2004 12
ii. funding plenary and special sessions on issues of conceptual importance to the future of
evaluation in Africa;
iii. funding technical strands on specialised evaluation arenas;
iv. partial funding of capacity building/training opportunities;
v. funding of networking functions;
vi. providing promotional conference materials;
vii. compiling conference proceedings; and
viii. funding translation services.
Sponsorship offers partners and sponsors a unique way to network with attendees from governments
and other organisations in a large number of African and other countries, to support the objectives of
the African Evaluation Association, and to increase the name recognition of their business or
organisation among national and international evaluators, governments, donors and other evaluation
clients in Africa and elsewhere.
We offer sponsorships benefits at two levels – partners and sponsors:
Partner benefits (sponsorship of US$50 000 and more)
If necessary, an options package will be put together to meet a partner’s needs.
Participation in the conceptualisation and planning of the conference, if desired
Joint press releases to the electronic and print media
Joint event website branding
Joint venue branding
Free exhibit opportunity
Prominent profile in the take-home conference material
