The Malaysian Evaluation Society (MES)   

The MES is a dedicated organization for evaluation practitioners and managers from all levels of government, the business community, and academia as well as individuals interested in or involved with evaluation. The idea of the MES was first mooted in 1996 by a small group of people who had a deep interest in evaluation. The society was officially registered in 1999.  The MES was established to help promote and further enhance the knowledge, awareness, and activities of its members in all aspects of evaluation, both nationally and internationally.

The MES is the principal body and means for those individuals or organizations involved in evaluation to explore, discuss, develop, and promote all activities and efforts in the field of evaluation. It is also the main means of representing the evaluation practices and interests in Malaysia in regional and international evaluation-linked efforts.

It aims to help promote the exchange of ideas, experiences, and resources related to all aspects of evaluation, whether in the private or public sectors. The MES also carries out various activities related to evaluation research, training, and development to help promote all evaluation activities in the country and outside.

The MES works in close cooperation with both local and international evaluation bodies and has played an active role in the evaluation advocacy and capacity-building initiatives in Malaysia as well as internationally. Through these efforts, the MES helps to promote activities such as Research & Development, publications, policy support, and performance management in the private and public sectors.
