The African Evaluation Journal (AEJ) aims to:

• be a high–quality, peer–reviewed journal that builds evaluation–related knowledge and practice in support of effective developmental policies on the African continent;


• provide a communication platform for scholars and practitioners of evaluation to share and debate ideas about evaluation theory and practice in Africa;


• promote cross–fertilisation of ideas and methodologies between countries and between evaluation scholars and practitioners in the developed and developing world; and


• promote evaluation scholarship and authorship, and a culture of peer–review in the African evaluation community.

AEJ publishes high quality peer–reviewed articles of merit on any subject related to evaluation and provides targeted information of professional interest to members of the African Evaluation Association (AfrEA) and its national associations.

Types of articles published in AEJ include Editorials, Original Research Articles, and Invited Papers.

AEJ publishes at least 1 issue each year. Articles are published online when ready for publication and then printed in an end–of–year compilation. Additional issues may be published for special events (e.g. conferences) and when special themes are addressed.

The journal’s key ISO Abbreviated Title is Afr. eval. j.
