Home of Africa's M&E Professionals

The Vantage Africa M&E Professionals Association (VAMEPA) is a continental network that brings together Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) practitioners, trainers, researchers, and institutions dedicated to advancing the standards and practice of M&E across Africa.

Founded in 2023, VAMEPA serves as a collaborative platform where professionals from diverse sectors, government, non-profit, academia, and private institutions, connect to share knowledge, exchange experiences, and promote evidence-based decision-making for sustainable development.

We are driven by a commitment to build a strong, ethical, and well-equipped M&E community that contributes meaningfully to Africa's transformation agenda. Through our programs, events, and partnerships, we aim to strengthen evaluation capacity, promote best practices, and foster collaboration among individuals and institutions involved in results-based management and impact measurement.

VAMEPA operates on a simple yet powerful belief that when evaluators are empowered, data becomes more than numbers; it becomes a force for change, accountability, and learning.

The story of the Vantage Africa M&E Professionals Association (VAMEPA) is one of vision, collaboration, and continuous growth. Since our establishment in 2023, we have remained committed to advancing Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) practice across Africa through professional development, networking, and shared learning.

After training over 10,000 professionals across Africa, we recognized the need to bring them together as one vibrant community, a platform where M&E practitioners could connect, learn, and grow collectively.

Through ongoing engagements with practitioners, trainers, and institutions across the continent, we identified a shared aspiration: to strengthen the culture of evidence-based decision-making, uphold professional standards, and create stronger linkages among M&E professionals.

VAMEPA was founded to meet this need uniting Africa's M&E professionals under shared values of integrity, excellence, and collaboration. Since then, we've grown into a dynamic network of practitioners representing government agencies, NGOs, academia, and development partners who are all passionate about the transformative power of monitoring and evaluation.

Today, we continue to build on that foundation expanding partnerships, promoting ethical and professional standards, and fostering innovation within Africa's M&E ecosystem. Guided by our founding vision, we remain committed to equipping professionals with the skills, knowledge, and community they need to drive impactful, data-informed development across the continent.
