A sponsor shall contribute towards overall conference expenses and cover necessary expenses for key resource people for the strand. A sponsor is encouraged to offer bursaries for strand presenters. A sponsor also shall contribute towards promotion of the strand to the potential participants.
Partnership Options
AfrEA is inviting interested organizations to become partners for the preparation and conduct of its 11th conference.
The Partnership options include:
Non-Financial Contribution
A partner can facilitate or co-facilitate a strand, including organization of review of abstract submissions and moderation of strand sessions during the conference.
Non-Targeted Financial Contribution
Funds will be used towards overall conference expenses, including hire of venue, service of the conference organizer, simultaneous translation, strengthening operations of AfrEA Secretariat as a coordinating entity, other administrative costs as well as covering travel expenses of keynote speakers as necessary.
Bursaries for Conference Attendees
Given the high cost of transportation and accommodation, bursaries are important to ensure participation of evaluators who don’t have sufficient means, especially young professionals. A partner may contribute to a pooled conference bursaries fund as well as identify a specific category of attendees to be supported.
Bursaries for Pre-Conference Workshops Presenters
A number of facilitators usually provide workshop and training prior to the conference, the majority of them requires financial support to cover the costs of transport, meals, and accommodation.
