Key collaborations for influential evaluations and resilient M&E systems

Agulhas evaluators and representatives from our partners at Catalyst Management Services will examine how collaboration can generate influential evaluations, and enhance the resiliency of M&E systems. Participants will learn practical tools and methods for incorporating local stakeholders in international evaluation, including stakeholder network analysis and PEA. Case studies will demonstrate how effective collaboration can 1.) meaningfully use citizen feedback in evaluation 2.) curate strategic partnerships. Case studies from panellists will include the development of M&E systems for climate change mitigation networks, financial inclusion, and learning from CSM's in-house collaboration platform, CommunityActionLab, which brings together 350+ community-based organisations to build the resiliency of vulnerable people and institutions. A Q&A will follow, where participants and panels discuss how these innovative collaboration arrangements can strengthen the relevance of evidence in decision-making.
