Next workshop 26 November 2018, Wellington, New Zealand Contact us.
We provide training on all aspects of evaluation. This includes implementation, process and impact evaluation. We provide a framework for thinking about how evaluation fits with related areas such as planning and monitoring. We take participants through a step-by-step process of planning an evaluation using specific case studies they bring to the workshop. We have taught evaluation to thousands of workshop participants and post-graduate students including: program managers; program staff; policy analysts and evaluators.
Our workshops are fast-paced, entertaining, informative, humorous and responsive to the needs of participants. We use direct presentations, role-plays, group and individual exercises. We adapt each workshop to the particular needs and interests of the participants in the room and we use examples provided by them.
Outline of the workshop agenda (modified depending on the needs of participants):
- What is program evaluation?
- Evaluation stakeholder management
- Understanding the theory behind evaluation (relationship between planning, monitoring, evaluation, attribution, accountability, policy and political context of evaluation etc.)
