The Tokyo Call for Action, adopted at the 5th Asia Pacific Evaluation Association (APEA) Conference in Tokyo in November 2025, represents a renewed and urgent commitment to institutionalizing evaluation as a cornerstone of good governance, democracy, and sustainable development.

Building on earlier global and regional commitments including the Colombo and Manila Declarations, it emphasizes the critical role of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems in strengthening evidence-based policymaking, transparency, and accountability in an increasingly complex and uncertain world.

This webinar will bring together a diverse group of speakers to reflect on these commitments, share country experiences, and explore practical pathways for translating the Tokyo Call for Action into strengthened national evaluation systems and improved development outcomes.
