CLEAR is a multiregional initiative, whose goal is to contribute to strengthening the monitoring, evaluation, and results-based management capacity of countries and their governments to achieve development outcomes.
CLEAR will support academic/training institutions based in Africa, Latin America, and South Asia to develop and provide demand-driven, cost-effective, and sustainable capacity development services in monitoring, evaluation, and performance management.
CLEAR will support the centers for five years, with the expectation that the centers will begin developing other sources of revenue during this period.
CLEAR is inviting expressions of interest (EOIs) from existing academic/training institutions based in Africa to host the Africa regional center.
CLEAR expects to contribute approximately $1 million per year for the first three years and lesser amounts in the remaining two years to help the selected institution(s) achieve international quality standards in the areas covered by the program and to reach fi nancial self-suffi ciency within that period.
The Africa center will be selected through a two-stage process. Institutions will be shortlisted based on the EOIs they provide. The shortlisted institutions will be invited to present full proposals for the fi nal selection.
The selected center will provide demand-based capacity development and technical and advisory services to governments, civil society, and other potential clients.
CLEAR Africa is supported by African Development Bank (afDB), Asian Development Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, Sida, United Kingdom's Department for International Development (DfID) and the World Bank.
