Zambia Monitoring and Evaluation Association (ZaMEA) was born as a merge of two previously existing M&E professional bodies; Zambia Evaluation Association (ZEA) and Monitoring and Evaluation Support Systems of Zambia (MESSY) and was registered in 2014.

Furthermore, ZaMEA endeavors to raise standards of Research, Monitoring and Evaluation practice and encourage adherence to a high level of professionalism in the delivery of goods and services in Re-search, Monitoring and Evaluation whilst ensuring a process of sustainability within specified contexts.
