Key Initiatives
IPDET
The International Program for Development Evaluation Training (IPDET) is an executive training program that aims to provide decision-makers, managers, and practitioners with the tools and skills needed to commission, manage, and implement policy, program or project evaluations at local, national, regional, and global levels, as well as to use those evaluations for decision-making. Since 2021 IPDET is GEI's Core Implementing Partner
Partnership with ENAP: TAQYEEM
The TAQYEEM program is part of GEI’s collaborative efforts in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to strengthen evaluation capacities and national monitoring and evaluation ecosystems. The program is delivered by the École Nationale d’Administration Publique (ENAP), in partnership with GEI and the Islamic Development Bank
Internship program
To help address some of the challenges faced by Young and Emerging Evaluators (YEEs), GEI has launched the hands-on internship program, which aims to strengthen practical M&E skills and soft skills of young evaluators through hands-on learning and mentorship. The program exposes local young evaluators to various areas of M&E system development, aligning with GEI's objective to strengthen national M&E systems, develop M&E competencies, and expand professional networks
