EvalYouth Chapter Rwanda (EYCR) was established as a platform dedicated to supporting young and emerging evaluators (YEEs) by fostering professional development, providing networking opportunities, and advocating for the use of evaluation in evidence-based decision-making. The chapter operates within the broader framework of the EvalYouth Global Network and EvalPartners, ensuring alignment with global evaluation standards and best practices.
EYCR was formed in response to the increasing demand for structured mentorship, capacity development, and knowledge exchange among young evaluators in Rwanda. Recognizing the crucial role that monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plays in shaping policies and programs, EYCR aims to bridge the gap between emerging and experienced evaluators, ensuring that young professionals are equipped with the necessary skills to contribute meaningfully to national and global development efforts.
