Evaluation

Leading and sharing knowledge

We support and collaborate with international evaluation practitioners and theorists to develop innovative approaches and enhance the field of evaluation in developing countries. The projects tend to involve:

partnering with others to develop and share evaluation tools and methodologies that are embedded in complexity thinking and that challenge persistent inequalities
generating and supporting evaluation knowledge through forums globally
creating space for collaboration through evaluation communities of practice and networks
contributing to capacity development in the field of evaluation
