Ukrainian Evaluation Association Annual Conference | Evaluations in challenging times: from humanitarian aid to the state policy

This year's annual conference of the Ukrainian Evaluation Association (UEA) will focus on two dimensions of M&E policy – evaluation of state policy and humanitarian evaluations. UEA would like to bring the attention of Ukrainian policymakers to the importance of embedding evaluations into the policy cycle as well as to share experience in conducting real-time humanitarian evaluations with the international evaluation community.

The purpose of the conference is to facilitate a dialogue on the introduction and implementation of M&E policies, strategies, programmes and projects in wartime and post-war.
