Save the date: On May 6-7, 2025, ANDE’s Metrics from the Ground Up Conference returns, bringing together leading practitioners, researchers, and organizations dedicated to measuring and managing impact effectively.

 

This year’s convening will take place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, a vibrant hub for innovation and entrepreneurship.

A Key Gathering for Impact Professionals

ANDE’s Metrics Conference has become a cornerstone event for those at the forefront of monitoring and evaluation (M&E), impact measurement and management (IMM), and ESG tracking. Attendees can expect two days of deep-dive sessions, hands-on workshops, and expert discussions that cut across industries and geographies.

The 2025 edition will tackle pressing themes such as:

  • Participatory evaluation – Engaging stakeholders in the measurement process for more inclusive and actionable insights.
  • Artificial intelligence in measurement – Exploring how AI is revolutionizing data collection, analysis, and decision-making.
  • Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings – Understanding how businesses can leverage ESG data to drive sustainable investment and accountability.

Connecting Communities Across Africa

With Addis Ababa as the host city, this year’s Metrics Conference offers a unique opportunity to engage with Africa’s dynamic entrepreneurial support ecosystem. The city is home to a growing network of small and growing businesses (SGBs), impact investors, and development practitioners who are shaping the future of sustainable enterprise.

As part of ANDE’s commitment to fostering collaboration, we are pleased to offer a 50% discount on registration to those attending the ANDE Pan Africa Conference. This incentive ensures that organizations participating in both events can maximize learning and networking opportunities while deepening their engagement with impact-driven strategies.
