African Evaluation Association (AfREA): Strengthening Evaluation in Africa
AfREA’s Mission and Vision
AfREA is committed to promoting evaluation that is African-rooted, culturally responsive, and relevant to the continent's diverse development challenges. Its core mission is to build the capacity of evaluators, institutions, and governments to produce and use quality evidence for policy, programs, and accountability.
What AfREA Offers
Biennial International Conference
AfREA's flagship event brings together hundreds of evaluators, policymakers, donors, and academics to share learning and showcase evaluation innovations across Africa.
Made in Africa Evaluation (MAE)
A framework promoting African-driven evaluation values, knowledge systems, and methodologies.
Capacity Building
AfREA supports National Evaluation Associations (NEAs), young and emerging evaluators, and institutional strengthening across sectors.
Partnerships
Collaborations with governments, UN agencies, regional economic communities (RECs), and global VOPEs to promote evaluation use and influence.
Why Join or Engage with AfREA?
AfREA offers a unique platform for African evaluators and those working in Africa to connect, learn, and shape the future of evaluation on the continent. It is particularly valuable for those committed to decolonizing evaluation, promoting equity, and amplifying African voices in global development discourse.
AfREA & EvalCommunity
EvalCommunity collaborates with professionals across Africa who are actively involved in AfREA and its country-level partners. Together, both platforms provide greater visibility for African evaluators, job opportunities, and access to resources for strengthening careers and institutions.
