Evaluation and the Transformational Imperative – Perspectives from Young and Emerging Evaluators
Online
Sobre el evento
A session will be held to contribute to the global body of knowledge around the relevance of evaluation in sustainable transformational change post-pandemic.
The call for transformation is a response to the dire global emergency. It is a call for radical innovation and progress at multiple levels in society if it is to survive. How can evaluation, a profession in the business of assessment and advising, inform and hasten transformation? As a field that straddles both theory and practice, evaluation is uniquely positioned to support transformational learning and change. This panel discussion will provide a space for young and emerging evaluators to express their views about the future of evaluation and its transformational potential for our collective future.”
By the end of the event, participants will:
• have an enhanced understanding on the importance of transformational evaluations in ‘building back better’.
• be able to identify the skillsets and mindsets required to undertake transformational evaluations in complex contexts.
• understand the role of Young Emerging Evaluators (YEEs) in achieving transformations.
