Seminar | Hybrid

Organized by:
OECD; DEval
About the Event
This event combines launch of a new guidance on using the OECD evaluation criteria with a human rights lens, and an international panel discussion of the role of evaluators in addressing issues of human rights and gender equality in today's context. The event will provide practical information on how to adapt evaluation questions with a human rights and gender equality lens, and touch on the broader debates that arise including questions about evaluators bringing their own biases to the table, and how to create space for exploration of human rights effects when evaluating interventions that do not explicitly target rights.
