Bringing Evaluation Back to the Core of Your Work

hosted by Yonatan Ghebray

What does evaluation mean to your work? When framed narrowly, questions around impact, accountability, measurement and evidence can feel abstract and disconnected to the actual work that we do, and what is needed on the ground. How can evaluation provide an opportunity for organizations and communities to learn and advance in their mission? What types of knowledge and data can help us change our relationship with our funders?

In this session, we take this opportunity to reflect on how evaluation can help advance the work of organizations and communities while contributing to changing power dynamics. This will be an opportunity for your organization to question established patterns and processes, to see work in a new light, to take credit for accomplishments, and to ask brave questions.
