Network Hubs
While a global approach to transforming evaluation is necessary, we also recognize the value of connecting with fellow Blue Marble Evaluators across specific regions and/or issues. Our first active BME Hub has formed in Eastern and Southern Africa.
If you are interested in forming a hub in another region or focused on a specific issue, please contact us.
