The African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) in collaboration with the Zimbabwe Evaluation Association (ZEA) and other development partners in Zimbabwe are jointly organizing a regional conference and an evaluation capacity building workshop in line with the 2015 Year of Evaluation (EvalYear) celebration. 2015 was declared as the International Year of Evaluation at the Third International Conference on National Evaluation Capacities organized in São Paulo, Brazil on 29 Sep-2 Oct 2013. The EvalYear celebration in Zimbabwe is aimed at positioning evaluation at the center of development discourse by advocating and promoting evaluation and evidence-based policy making at regional, national and local levels. It is also in line with ACBF’s commitment to stimulate the demand for and use of evaluation to inform development discourse and interventions across the continent in accordance with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between ACBF and African Evaluation Association (AfrEA) in April 2015.
