Embracing a new era: the transformational journey of AfrEA!
It is with immense pride and excitement that I welcome you to the inaugural edition of AfrEA Insights, our monthly Newsletter. As you all know, this year marks the 25th anniversary of AfrEA, a milestone that fills us with both joy and reflection. Over the past quarter-century, AfrEA has grown from a visionary idea into a dynamic and influential organization. In the days ahead, we will officially launch activities to commemorate the anniversary.
Our journey at AfrEA has been one of relentless dedication to advancing evaluation practices that reflect the unique contexts and needs of Africa. In recent months, we have embarked on a transformative path that promises to elevate our association to new heights.
This Newsletter is a glaring testament to that fact, and we are grateful to all members and partners who have contributed content for its production.

We have made considerable investments in strengthening our capacity-building initiatives. Recognizing the importance of equipping evaluators with the latest knowledge and skills, we are working to launch a series of training programs and workshops that will be accessible to professionals across the continent. These initiatives aim to foster a community of practice that is both inclusive and innovative.
In the spirit of innovation, we are working to introduce a new digital platform that will serve as a hub for all AfrEA activities. This platform will streamline communication, facilitate access to resources, and provide a space for members to connect and collaborate. We believe this digital transformation will enhance our ability to support you in your vital work.
Moreover, we are deepening our commitment to promoting culturally relevant evaluation practices. We continue to promote context-specific evaluation frameworks and methodologies. By grounding our work in the rich and diverse cultures of Africa, we aim to ensure that our Made In Africa Evaluation (MEA) is not only rigorous but also meaningful and impactful.
As we move forward, I invite each of you to join us in embracing this new era for AfrEA. Your participation and contributions are invaluable to our collective success. Together, let us continue to advance the field of evaluation and make a lasting difference in our communities. Thank you for your unwavering support and dedication.
Long-live AfrEA.
May God bless Africa.
