The Nigerien Monitoring and Evaluation Network (ReNSE)

The Nigerien Network of Monitoring and Evaluation (ReNSE) is an informal group of monitoring and evaluation professionals. Its overall is to foster a sustainable national process of capacity-building in monitoring and evaluation through the setting-up of a forum that will contribute to the definition of standards, methodologies and professional practices in Niger. The members of the network have also adopted more specific objectives.

The creation of this network in August 1999 is part of an African process aiming at the creation national M&E networks as well as a global effort to constitute a world community for monitoring and evaluation. Niger must be part of these developments in order to benefit and contribute to the exchange of experiences and competence at an international scale.

A first Coordination Committee was elected in 1999. The committee members were chosen to represent the different categories of actors actively involved in monitoring and evaluation activities, namely the public administration, the United Nations System, civil society, training institutions as well as the private sector. A third Coordination Committee was elected in March 2004 for a mandate of two years and its members have adopted a new Action Plan covering the period 2004-2006. In parallel, a Scientific Committee was created to act as a consultative structure advising the Coordination Committee members on strategic issues and to monitor the quality of ReNSE publications such as the "Lettre du ReNSE".
