As part of Government’s efforts to improve the Monitoring and Evaluation landscape in the Civil/Public Service, the National Monitoring and Evaluation Agency (NaMEA) carried out one-day session to validate three important M&E related documents i.e. the National Evulation Capacity Readiness Assessment (NECRA) report, the National Evaluation Capacity Development Plan(NECDP) and the National Evaluation Guidelines (NEG). This came as an aftermath of a nationwide assessment done by NaMEA through the technical expertise of two local and international consultants, who undertook an an indepth assessment of the M&E ecosystem across the Public Service, with special focus on evaluation, which has been largely absent in the M&E ecosystem. Funded by Unicef, the validation session was held at the Freetown City Council headquarters at Wallace Johnson street, Freetown, on Friday 12th April, 2025, and saw in attendance participants from Civil/Public Service entities, tertiary institutions and international organizations. It hoped that the outcome of the Evaluation Capacity Readiness Assessment, together with the Evaluation Capacity Development Plan and the Evaluation Guidelines will serve as clear road map for NaMEA and its partners in bolstering not only the monitoring capacity of MDAs but also build their evaluation capacity and further inspire institutions of higher learning (universities in particular), to develop courses on M&E.
