Join the Responsible Data in MERL Initiative in Anglophone Africa
MERL Tech and CLEAR Anglophone Africa hosted three “gLocal evaluation” events in late June under the theme “How to conduct Digital MERL during COVID-19.” These covered the topics of responsible use of data, remote monitoring, and administrative data use.
Key aspects coming out of the events were the need for 1) guidance on data governance and 2) orientation on responsible data practices. Both policy and practice need to be contextualized for the African context and aimed at supporting African monitoring, evaluation, research and learning (MERL) practitioners in their work.
As a follow-on activity, CLEAR Anglophone Africa is calling on M&E practitioners to join up to be a part of this responsible data project for African MERL Practitioners. CLEAR Anglophone Africa and MERL Tech will be collaborating on this responsible data initiative.
