From Evaluation to Action. How to make your evaluation practice more principled and transformative
Activities:
Lead facilitator: Michelle Tarsilla, Chief, Humanitarian Evaluation, UNICEF, mtarsilla@unicef.org
Summary: Evaluation practitioners are expected to follow professional standards in order to enhance the technical rigor and acceptability of their work. However, ensuring the “perfect compliance” between one’s own practice and oft-aspirational principles can be quite challenging with the risk that evaluation managers and evaluation consultants get overwhelmed by the increasing number of principles and dimensions that they are being asked to abide by and include, respectively, in their evaluation conceptual frameworks. This workshop will endeavor to provide practical guidance on how to reconcile the vast array of principles underlying contemporary evaluation practice, provide experience-based recommendations on how to apply them holistically to equip evaluation managers with the tools to enhance the capacity of the national evaluation societies or private firms/vendors rendering evaluation services to their respective Agencies/ Organizations. The workshop will also build on some of the most recent Guidance endorsed by UNEG.
