Learning from What Works: The Art and Science of Evaluation

The practice of evaluation has evolved over the past decade. As new theories and practices take hold in program evaluation, it is not necessarily clear how they apply to evaluating the impact of programs on individuals and communities. This session will review current thinking and practice in the field and provide some examples of good evaluation practice in addressing the impact of programs on individuals and communities. Participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences as well as examples of evaluation challenges and opportunities within their work.  Sheherazade and Janice will provide you with the tools and resources to develop a basic framework for evaluation in your organization.
