[afro-nets] Evaluation Resources for Developing Countries

["Olusesan Makinde" <sesmak@yahoo.co.uk>]

Dear All,

I am Makinde O.A an Epidemiologist working on a project with a group of concerned evaluators on development of free evaluation resources and free consultancies for developing countries.  

Our goal is: To work with a coalition of evaluators and evaluation organizations to provide evaluation, consulting or training resources to organizations and evaluators in developing countries. 

We intend attaining our goals by the following steps:
1. To develop coalitions with evaluators and evaluation organizations throughout the world, especially from developing regions.
2. To obtain feedback from evaluators and organizations on what would be most needed and helpful.
3. To recruit educational/research/policy organizations which can house/co-sponsor/support/review this project or parts of this project.
4. To develop materials based on what is most needed and helpful (e.g., on-line training, etc).
5. To make available the materials developed above.
6. All the organizational details, who can do what, what we need, all that other stuff ... input welcome!

We are still accepting volunteers with or without technical expertise who can contribute their body of knowledge to the development of the project and spread the word.

We would be most appreciative if any individual could link us with the National or Regional Evaluation Society in his/her locality.

We also seek anyone who can donate a web space in support of this project. A list of current volunteers has been placed in the following link:

More volunteers are welcomed like I mentioned earlier and any contributions could be sent to me at my email address on sesmak@yahoo.co.uk or to Gene Shackman the project manager on mailto:researchgene@yahoo.com .

We thank you in advance as you respond with your ideas and suggestions.
