Item Item Item 2019 Annual Report(CLEAR-AA, 2020-05) CLEAR-AAWe work to improve the way M&E is done. We help strengthen the ability to plan, report on what is being achieved and assess results. This is known as evaluation capacity development. We work with policy makers, parliamentarians, academia and M&E networks and practitioners. CLEAR-AA is one of six regional centres housed in academic institutions across the globe. The other CLEAR centers are in Senegal, Mexico, India, China and Brazil, and we are supported by the CLEAR global Initiative in Washington, DC.Item Africa Evaluation Indaba(CLEAR-AA, 2020-10-07) CLEAR-AAItem African Monitoring and Evaluation Systems Workshop Report(CLEAR-AA, 2012-09) CLEAR-AADPME In partnership with the CLEAR Center for Anglophone Africa hosted the workshop to which four senior officials from each of the six participating countries were invited.

It requires in depth reflection on organization’s culture, values and vision. The City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality led by the Group Strategy Policy Communications and Relations (GSPCR) embarked on a city wide Monitoring and Evaluation capacity building programme which commenced in July 2016. This created some interest in the city as such private entities as ‘City Power’ wanted to go the same process with their staff (senior managers). Improve the organization’s overall performance and its ability to adapt itself within a changing context.Item CLEAR-AA 2022 Annual Report(2022-01-01) CLEAR-AAItem COMPASS: Tracking monitoring and evaluation developments in Anglophone Africa(CLEAR-AA, 2018) CLEAR-AAMuch of the existing literature around M&E and evaluation systems is based on European, North American and Latin American theory and practice, with little written about African M&E systems. For example, a study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (2016) explores evaluation systems in development cooperation focusing on 37 members of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Network on Development Evaluation (EvalNet) and nine multilateral organisations, including six development banks, the European Commission, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Another example is Rosenstein’s (2015) Mapping the Status of National Evaluation Policies in South Asia. The Compass offers a snapshot of developments in M&E in Anglophone African countries and is designed to inform CLEAR-AA and development partners’ understanding of M&E systems and planning for capacity development interventions in these countries, as well as contribute to public debate on the development of national M&E systems, institutionalisation of evaluation, and use of M&E evidence in the larger African context.Item DETPA 2020(CLEAR-AA, 2020) CLEAR-AAItem Developing a visibility strategy for the Tanzania Evaluation Association: Scoping Report(CLEAR-AA, 2020) CLEAR-AA; TANEAItem Embracing Evaluative Thinking for Better Outcomes: Four NGO Case Studies(2017) CLEAR-AA; InterActionThis study would not exist without the contributions of many people.

This means that the purpose of this evaluation was to determine whether the programme outcomes have been achieved, to assess the quality and relevance of the programmes and their efficiency. The first method of this evaluation applied in each phase was a graduate tracer study which sought to (a) locate graduates and establish from them the actual and perceived achievements of the programmes; and (b) determine what the outcome of the programmes have been for participants as well as the sectors where graduates are located. This evaluation was commissioned by the ETDP SETA for use in programme improvement, and to provide evidence toward policy recommendations in the future restructuring of the SETA.Item Evaluation Landscape in Africa(Sun Press, 2021-06-01) CLEAR-AAItem eVALUation Matters: Building supply and demand for evaluation in Africa(IDEV, 2018) CLEAR-AA; IDEV (Independent Development Evaluation African Development Bank)Evaluation plays a critical role in the effective implementation of good governance structures in Africa, in promoting accountability, learning, development effectiveness, and sustained and rapid economic growth. The lack of an evaluation culture hinders good governance based on evidence-informed decision-making. But creating an evaluation culture requires more than enacting a policy or even having an evaluation unit - there must be buy-in from government ministries and agencies, to parliaments, to the grassroots level. There must be a steady supply of high quality evaluations, and the demand for these evaluations in order to ensure their use. When decision-makers want to use evidence from monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems to assist them in making choices, then there can be said to be a demand for M&E. On the supply side, when there is sufficient national capacity to supply M&E personnel / practitioners and information, and those in research and academia are improving on M&E methodologies, the same can be said of adequate national M&E supply.Item How to conduct Digital Merl in the time of COVID-19(CLEAR-AA, 2020-06) CLEAR-AA; MERL-TechThe COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the globe with its exponentially growing numbers of affected persons, crashing economies, and dwindling medical supplies.
