Evaluation without borders: Enhancing regional accessibility of evaluation training
Panel Discussion | Online
-
Organized by:
IPDET Evaluation Training
- In partnership with: ENAP, CLEAR AA
About the Event
Join us for a dynamic gLOCAL panel showcasing three of GEI’s flagship evaluation training programs: IPDET, PIFED, and TAQYEEM — delivered respectively in English, French, and Arabic. This panel will highlight the unique approaches and global and regional focus of each program and present IPDET’s expansion strategy into new regions (e.g., Anglophone Africa with CLEAR AA). Panelists will not only share insights and training opportunities for participating in those programs, but will also actively facilitate the discussion, posing questions to one another and engaging directly with the audience. Participants are encouraged to contribute to the dialogue and support a rich exchange of ideas. The goal of this panel is to raise awareness of current evaluation training offerings and discuss how these programs can evolve to meet the rapidly changing needs of evaluation professionals and decision-makers in today’s global context.
