A new website dedicated exclusively to the M&E of population, health, nutrition and poverty programs is now on-line. The Latin American Network of Evaluation Programs (REDEVAL) website has also been created. Please visit http://redeval.insp.mx.

This effort is an initiative started by the Instituto Nacional de Salud Publica (INSP) de Mexico and Measure Evaluation. It responds to the growing need to strengthen the practice of monitoring and evaluation programs in the LAC region. The main purpose of REDEVAL is to establish an extensive network of individuals and institutions in Latin America who are involved in the monitoring and evaluation of population, health, nutrition, and poverty programs. On REDEVAL, individuals and institutions can exchange information, experiences and methodologies related to the monitoring and evaluation of programs. Through constant interactions with evaluation professionals, REDEVAL hopes to promote all formal activities related to training, teaching, consulting and seminars conducted in the region. Registration for the website is free.

For more information or to offer comments about REDEVAL and the website, please contact Jose E. Urquieta Salomon.
