RE: Making more use of local institutions in evaluation | Eval Forward

At the onset of this century, North-South and South-South partnerships were encouraged. whereas this has happened in some places, it did not work in others. The COVID pandemic challenges have not been felt where partnerships were built, and local actors' capacities strengthened. In the case of the first question, there has been no shift in such areas as a result of the pandemic. This is because institutions have been working towards strengthening inclusion and partnerships. Our local, regional and international evaluation associations should encourage collaborations (South-South & North-South) that aim to form sustainable partnerships, in which the capacity of local evaluators and their participation in both design and implementation of evaluation studies is enhanced.
