1. Overview of gLOCAL Evaluation Week

2. 2
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) plays a critical role in
strengthening accountability and increasing transparency in
areas of public spending and service delivery.
In this context, sharing global and local M&E knowledge and
experiences are essential to strength local M&E capacity,
foster accountability for results, promote evidence-based
decision making, and learn from results.
These goals are central to the CLEAR Initiative’s mission and
the inspiration for gLOCAL Evaluation Week.
