Today, the Association of African Development Finance Institutions (AADFI) launched a workshop on monitoring and evaluation of development projects. The five-day workshop, which is holding in person in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, aims to enhance the skills of development bank executives in Francophone member countries on the rudiments of development project monitoring and evaluation, M and E tools, and measurement of project impact.
Declaring the training open, Secretary-General of AADFI, Mr. Cyril Okoye, emphasized the importance of regular training in a constantly evolving environment. “DFI executives should continue to train to adapt to the rapid changes and growing challenges in the development sector,” he stated.
The lead facilitator, Mr. Koné Mamadou, a seasoned development finance expert, acknowledged that “It is regrettable that executives of institutions often neglect training during difficult times, whereas it is precisely at such times that they should intensify their training efforts”. This workshop represents a valuable opportunity for DFI executives to enhance their skills and contribute to the success of development projects across the continent.
