gLocal 2024

OVERVIEW

gLOCAL Evaluation Week is a unique, global knowledge-sharing event, connecting participants across sectors and regions. Over one week, people worldwide join local and international events to learn about various topics, gaining insights into regional and international monitoring and evaluation (M&E) ecosystems.

Launched in 2019, gLOCAL has become one of the largest M&E knowledge-sharing events, hosting thousands of events in multiple languages across six continents. gLOCAL event participants and hosts include international organizations, regional M&E bodies, (sub-) national governmental and non-governmental organizations, decision makers, commissioners, Voluntary Organizations for Professional Evaluation (VOPEs), academics, researchers, and students.

Convened by the Global Evaluation Initiative (GEI), gLOCAL supports strengthening national M&E systems and enhancing evidence use in countries. It was launched by the Centers for Learning on Evaluation and Results (CLEARs), a key GEI partner, which continues to organize regional events. GEI emphasizes country-owned efforts aligned with local needs and goals, making knowledge sharing a central mission.

DMEO has been a part of the gLOCAL initiatives since 2020 wherein webinars are organized jointly with our partners on themes/ areas of mutual interest. These webinars are recorded and widely disseminated over social media by DMEO and other partners.
