Regional Centers for Learning on Evaluation and Results in Anglophone Africa (CLEAR) Project

Development Objective

The objective of the project is three-fold: (i) strategic clients gain knowledge in, and the motivation to use M&E methods, approaches, tools, and findings; (ii) other M&E capacity providers gain knowledge on evaluation capacity development (ECD) from CLEAR's experience on what works and what doesn't in ECD; and (iii) the CLEAR Center works towards achieving institutional and financial viability.
