Opportunities to collaborate and build together: addressing cultural and context differences and similarieties to strengthen collaboration in a regional context
Panel Discussion | Online
-
Organized by:
Caribbean Evaluators International (CEI) / ReLAC
About the Event
Latin America and the Caribbean are more than often addressed as a whole, however, aside from similarities, there are differences and multiple contexts within. LAC is composed of 46 countries, but differences can be found even at the subregional level. Acknowledging the differences and taking advantage of similarities, and building upon them will lead to stronger collaboration toward improving lives by promoting evidence-based decision-making in the region. ReLAC, a network of VOPEs in the region, and CEI, the regional VOPE in the Caribbean will share their views on how to work together, share experiences, and strengthen links looking for a bright future of M&E in both Latin America and the Caribbean.
