10th APNODE General Assembly Kicks off in Morocco’s Laayoune

Founded in 2014, APNODE is a pan-African network of parliamentarians and development partners dedicated to promoting the integration of evaluation into public decision-making. This edition fosters Morocco’s Upper House’s role, guest of honor of the event, and its expertise in the assessment of public policies.

This event takes place within an African context where the evaluation of public policies is gaining increasing strategic importance for the continent’s development, transparency and the optimization of public action.

The 10th General Assembly aims to reaffirm political commitment to evaluation in Africa, to strengthen the legislative and institutional frameworks dedicated to it, and to promote regional cooperation in this area.

It takes place at a pivotal moment marked by the assessment of commitments related to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals and the priorities of the African Union’s Agenda 2063.

Beyond its procedural dimensions, the Assembly also represents a unique opportunity to strengthen interaction among members around the strategic use of evaluation in public decision-making processes.

The richness and diversity of the expertise gathered will foster the emergence of collective solutions tailored to African realities, while consolidating a dynamic community of evaluative practices fully committed at the continental level.

The 2025 APNODE Annual General Assembly continues the work initiated by the Network since its creation by offering a structured space for consultation, institutional monitoring, and exchange of experiences.

It will enable the progress achieved to be assessed, consolidate the Network’s strategic orientations, and enhance coordination among stakeholders engaged in promoting public policy evaluation.

Through the quality of expected contributions and the diversity of representatives, this meeting will contribute to the progressive strengthening of an evaluation culture at the regional level, in support of more effective, transparent, and results-based public governance.
