A Trinidad and Tobago Evaluation Association?

A important tool in promoting evaluative thinking and evaluation capacity building in our context might be an Evaluation Association.

Several regions have an association. What are the local reasons for forming such an association?

How might that development proceed?

A local network of evaluation professionals might be one solution to the obstacles created by local and international gatekeepers.

Case Study in Kenya

Source- Voluntary Organizations for Professional Evaluation (VOPEs): Learning from Africa, Americas, Asia, Australasia, Europe and Middle East

Kenya: Evaluation Society of Kenya (ESK)

See page 30


The driving force for ESK is the need to provide professional M&E input into Kenya’s development agenda through multi-stakeholder collaborations. Accordingly, in recognition of the important role
that evaluation professional bodies may play in development, the absence of a vibrant professional evaluation organisation in the country was a strategic opportunity which ESK seized to fill the
existing gap. It is also reinforced by a changing landscape in the country with a new constitutional dispensation where the combination of an informed, active citizenry and vibrant media are keeping the government awake in meeting very high expectations, including the observance and practice of transparency, accountability and effectiveness in service delivery.

Further, globally there is a growing recognition that national capacity development for monitoring and evaluation systems (including those of professional organisations) is an essential part of the broader support to policy reform and to promoting national ownership of evidence-based decision-making aimed at enhancing development at all spheres of life. Towards this end, support for nurturing the professional growth and contribution
of its members to the evaluation profession as a whole is central to ESK’s objectives.

Collaboration with government
ESK has continued to receive strong support from the NIMES (Kenya’s National Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation System). Recently ESK organised a very successful high visibility launch. The event was organised jointly with the Ministry of Planning through the Monitoring & Evaluation Directorate (MED) within a three-day inaugural national M&E week that is earmarked to be held annually.
