Practical Evaluation Capacity Development: Lessons from South Asia
Table ronde
À propos de l'événement
Evaluation capacity development (ECD) is at a critical crossroads in the Global South, especially South Asia. While evaluation demand has increased exponentially, the supply of skilled evaluators has not. ECD is challenged to be contextual, culturally responsive along with methodological rigour. Three Global South panellists share insights from years of experience about: 1) lessons learned using diverse pedagogy methods and tools online and offline 2) scope of civil society networks to address grassroots ECD needs and 3) learnings related to institutional based ECD. The panel will discuss the relevance of innovative ECD frameworks, ECD ownership and challenges in system integration.
