Workshop | Online
-
Organized by:
Strengthening Evaluation Contracting Partnerships Initiative
- In partnership with: Dala Institute
About the Event
Small, proximate evaluation firms have deep knowledge of context and culture and access to local communities. Yet, evaluation contracting practices impede their full contributions. In this workshop, participants will discuss: How can evaluation commissioners transform contracting practices to strengthen partnerships with small, proximate evaluation firms? How can larger evaluation firms transform contracting practices to share leadership with small, proximate evaluation firms on evaluation teams? What will it take to achieve this transformation? For each of us, what next steps are possible?
