Beyond Measurement: Integrating Participatory Approaches in Program Evaluation Planning & Implementation
March 12 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Traditional program evaluation often centers funder-driven metrics, but what happens when we shift power and invite communities into the process? This session explores how participatory approaches can transform evaluation planning and implementation, making them more inclusive, meaningful, and actionable. We’ll discuss strategies for co-designing evaluation frameworks, using decolonized data collection tools, and embedding community-driven insights into the Results-Based Accountability (RBA) framework.
