The gLOCAL Evaluation Week is an esteemed event that brings together people and organizations from different regions and sectors to promote evidence-based policymaking, program development, and implementation. It is supported by the Global Evaluation Initiative (GEI), a network of experts and organizations that provide countries with the necessary support to enhance their monitoring and evaluation systems.

The Program of Social Policy and Evaluation Research (PROSPER) at CPP actively contributes to this international initiative by organizing a panel discussion that specifically centers around the institutionalization of evaluation within the MENA region.

During the webinar, we will explore the institutional structures and processes that shape M&E practices and the societal dissemination and acceptance of evaluations in the MENA region. To facilitate an in-depth discussion and generate valuable insights, we have modified the session duration for each section to 30 minutes. The four sessions will cover the following topics:
