The Uganda Evaluation Association (UEA) was formed in 2001 as a National Chapter of the African Evaluation Association (AFREA). UEA is fully registered as a company limited by guarantee with key documents being its constitution and Articles and Memorandum of Association. Our vision is “Excellent evaluation management in Uganda’s development process”.
Over the 7next five years, our mission is to“Promote the M&E practice and use, through advocacy and capacity building partnerships among development actors, for results-oriented development”. Implementing our current strategic plan should result in a community of practice that effectively influences evaluation management and use in the country.

Partners
Currently, UEA is in partnership with the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) which also hosts the government evaluation facility and therefore takes the lead in commissioning and ensuring the utilization of evaluation findings.
In partnership with OPM, UEA co-hosts the Uganda Evaluation Week, an annual event that promotes learning in the practice and use of evaluations, and also in organizing capacity-building training for evaluators in government and the private sector space – an example being the GIZ-supported Evaluation Capacity Development programme where UEA as a lead partner. UEA is forming the Young and Emerging Evaluators (YEE) group to implement the Evaluation Agenda 2020.
UEA has partnerships with academic institutions like Uganda Christian University (UCU) and Uganda Management Institute (UMI) with whom they jointly engage around capacity building for students and evaluation practitioners.
The UEA office is physically located within the UMI campus. The UEA collaborated with local and international partners to host the 8th African Evaluation Association (AfrEA) Conference in March 2016 in Uganda.
