Ghana’s Vice President, who was the Guest of Honour at the official opening ceremony of the conference also officially opened the exhibition of the entries of the National Associations Competition.
Supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the competition is aimed at encouraging national associations and Special Interest Group (SIG) members of AfrEA to present small scale project ideas or other innovations relevant to the conference focus areas as a small but concrete way to contribute to the advancement of evaluation in Africa.
Three cash prizes will be given for the best programme/project idea, product or service already accomplished, and for the best future project/programme idea or innovation. The winning projects will be selected by an independent team of judges and will be given prize money of between US$1,500 and US$5,000.
All together, six national associations and one SIG applied to take part, and four were shortlisted. They comprise AGDEN, AME-Morroco, APEM- Mali and RISE- Cote D'Ivoire. Other exhibitors include ESK- Kenya, MASSE- Madagascar and SAMEA- South Africa.
