At the heart of Twende Mbele is a desire to move beyond a network of people just sharing experience and towards a partnership where countries collaborate on developing and implementing M&E systems that improve government performance and impact on citizens. Twende Mbele engages with a variety of national governments who are interested to use M&E to strengthen government performance and accountability to citizens.

The Twende Mbele Programme involves 6 core partner countries in Benin, South Africa and Uganda, Niger, Ghana and Kenya. With two regional evaluation capacity development partners (CLEAR Anglophone Africa and the African Development Bank). These partners are learning from each other and more widely, around how more effective monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems at all levels of government can strengthen government performance. The Hewlett Foundation is the main financial supporter of the Programme, along with each of the core partners.

The overall Twende Mbele Vision is to "Improve performance and accountability of African governments to its citizens." And the overall Twende Mbele Mission is to "Facilitate programmes and activities geared towards the improvement of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems such as practices, policies, tools and procedures, based on shared experience operational in partner countries and more widely.
