UNEG EPE 2022-2023 - Reaching the Most Vulnerable: What did we learn from the COVID19 Pandemic

Overview

14th December (3:45 - 5:15 CET/ 9:45 – 12:15 Washington DC time)

The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way we work as evaluators. With the move to more remote methods, some innovations were developed to ensure that we were still reaching out to vulnerable groups, to effectively engage with communities in a timely manner.

This webinar focused on what worked (and what didn’t) to reach vulnerable populations and engage them in evaluations.
