LEAP MERL Advisory Community of Practice - Call For Expression of Interest

Hi there,

Are you an evaluation professional, young or emerging evaluator, researcher, data analyst, or organization in Africa eager to connect, learn, collaborate, and enhance your capabilities alongside like-minded experts across Africa?
LEAP Africa is pleased to invite you to join the LEAP MERL Advisory Community of Practice (CoP), a platform designed to foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and capacity building across Africa. We bring together individuals and organizations from non-profits, civil society organizations, the private sector, and academic institutions to enhance evidence seeking and evidence application practices tailored to the African context.
We invite you to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to join this community. CoP members will benefit from access to learning opportunities, collaboration on initiatives, and potential consulting opportunities. By proceeding to make this submission, you give consent for your data to be processed in compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 as well as GDPR considerations. Read more about LEAP Africa's Privacy Policy HERE.

The last question on this form asks if you have interest in joining the Participatory CoP in partnership with William Davidson Institute (WDI). Youcan read more about this HERE.
