Sobre el evento
**This event will have interpretation in French, Spanish, and Portuguese.**
This year’s theme of gLOCAL Evaluation Week is: The Future of M&E: Culture, Context and Collaboration. The opening panel zooms in on two sets of questions dividing the panel into two complementary parts.
The first part focuses on the institutionalization of M&E in public policy systems. Considering the evolution in national M&E systems in recent years in different parts in the world, going forward what are the main opportunities and challenges for strengthening the institutionalization of M&E in public policy? How can we develop resilient M&E systems that can withstand and outlast institutional uncertainties and volatilities?
The second part of the session goes deeper into the practice of evaluation. What changes in the way evaluative evidence is being generated do we foresee? What are opportunities and challenges for using data and methods for making evaluative evidence more robust but also more useful and accessible for decision makers and other evaluation stakeholders? How can culturally responsive evaluation principles be usefully integrated with (universally considered) good (scientific) principles of evaluation research?
Both segments will include lightning talks by the panelists and space for discussion among the panelists and with the audience.
