In February 2014, Dr. Marie-Hélène Adrien, the evaluation team leader, met with the Dakar, Senegal, CLEAR Centre representatives. She took this opportunity to visit the Centre Africain d’Études Supérieures en Gestion (CESAG – African Centre for Graduate Studies in Management) which hosts the CLEAR Centre. The mission will continue in February under the leadership of Mrs. Heather Baser, an expert on capacity building. She will be accompanied by Dr. Ahmed Benchkeid, President of the Moroccan Evaluation Association.
CLEAR is a global initiative supported by 9 donor agencies which has the objective to assist developing and emerging countries with evaluation capacity building in view to support States’ accountability. At the donors’ request, Universalia is conducting the CLEAR Initiative Mid-term Evaluation and carrying field missions in each of the CLEAR Centres.
