How to use evaluation rubrics to assess progress and contribution in complex programs aimed at systems change?

Webinar | Online

About the Event

The complexity of international development work has increased over the past 25 years with a stronger effort to change the very systems that contribute to poverty and environmental damage. Yet MEL practices often fail to support these efforts.

In this webinar we discuss how international foundations and INGOs have used evaluation rubrics to shift from rigid, cause-and-effect log-frame models to more dynamic, learning-oriented approaches that accommodate the complexity of the programs, foster participation, and support adaptive decision-making as the work to promote systems change.

WHY JOIN?
Evaluation rubrics help assess progress in complex programs where traditional indicators fall short. They enable meaningful learning, support adaptation, and foster shared understanding.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
- What evaluation rubrics are and how they work
- How they support systems change strategies
- Real-world examples from INGOs and foundations

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
MEL professionals, program managers, and others working with complexity, learning, and change in development programs.
