AfrEA will come away better


Mr Bali Andreatseheno
Mr Bali Andriatseheno, member of the AfrEA Board responsible for the Chair and speakers of the 6th AfrEA conference has indicated that his major expectation of the conference is that the Association will come out in the end as a more credible and stable organization.

“This conference is the first that is being organized directly by an elected Board and I have no doubt at all that AfrEA is on its way to building more confidence.”

Mr Bali was speaking with Reportage during the cocoa break yesterday. He said that starting off the conference with two days of technical workshops before the conference proper will create an opportunity for members to upgrade their skills and knowledge about monitoring and evaluation as well as learn from other participants from all over the world.

The theme of the conference –‘Rights & Responsibility in Development Evaluation - is an attempt to place humans and human agency at the heart and centre of development practice and in particular development evaluation. Development of this kind, is pursued in the interest and for the transformation of the human condition

An innovation at this conference, Bali disclosed, is that while the opening session will have one keynote speaker delivering one topict, the closing session will have a panel of voices which will seek to engage participants, measure their reactions and evaluate how well matters have gone down.
