SAMEA embodies the formalisation of the South African Evaluation Network SAENet. SAENet was an informal network aimed at building an active South African community of evaluators and others interested in evaluation.

SAMEA members and other individuals interested in the M&E environment in South Africa are invited to join SAMEATalk and other available listservs/mailing lists.

The South African Monitoring and Evaluation Association (SAMEA) places great importance on building the M&E knowledge base and sharing information in different ways to make it accessible. We are therefore excited to be publishing our first ever knowledge compendium, which we hope will serve as a valuable asset for established and emerging evaluators alike. In it, we provide a wide range of useful content, from summaries on topical webinars, to practical tips on how to use different M&E tools, and more.

OTHER VOPE AND KNOWLEDGE SHARING PLATFORMS

TIGs are subgroups of SAMEA consisting of members with common interests. TIGs may be formed around methodologies such as Needs Assessment, around work contexts such as Government Evaluation, around salient concerns such as Feminist Issues, COVID Pandemic issues or around professional status such as Independent Consultants. SAMEA members may contact the secretariat if they are interested to start and coordinate a TIG, outlining briefly the purpose, interest and proposed timeframes and mediums for interactions for members of the TIG. The secretariat will assist in calling for interests to join the TIG on SAMEATalk. They will also assist by referencing the TIG on the SAMEA website, communicate upcoming meetings of the TIG on SAMEATalk and place outputs and products of the TIG on the SAMEA webpage.
