Roundtable | Online
-
Organized by:
Global Evaluation Initiative
About the Event
This event is part of the Feminist Innovation in Monitoring and Evaluation project implemented by GEI, with the support of Global Affairs Canada.
Feminist approaches focus on social norms and power dynamics within social and cultural systems, and use participatory and empowering methods for research and evaluation to contribute to transformational change towards gender equality and social justice.
During the event a group of expert feminist evaluators will share their experience using feminist approaches and methods for evaluation and the lessons they have learned that could help other evaluation efforts be more influential towards transformational change.
Join this roundtable to find out how you can move forward in contributing to transformation change by incorporating the use of feminist approaches into your evaluation practice
