In recent years, society has faced significant global crises unmatched in recent generations. Both locally and globally, we witness the negative repercussions of climate change and environmental degradation, the consequences of persistent inequality, the economic and social implications of war, and the importance of promoting equitable public health and social safety nets. These complexities demand that evaluation practices and systems around the world adjust and that government, non-governmental, and individual Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) practitioners build their capacity to deal with the ever-changing world. More and more M&E practitioners need to become advocates for change.
Under the conference theme “Vuca-Vuka! Catalyzing Change Through Monitoring and Evaluation,” the 2024 conference programme seeks to engage attendees in identifying plausible solutions to these challenges and building our capacity to better use M&E practices and evidence.
