Alternative Evaluation: A Tapestry of Perspectives to Nurture the Culture of Evaluation March 29, 2024: 12pm-1pm ET
How about really shaking up the foundations of evaluation practice?
In this initiative, we believe that changing practices begins with changing concepts and understanding contexts, bringing new (and not at all new) ontologies, to change epistemologies and transform methodologies.
Join us for this free webinar on "Alternative Evaluation," a collective and collaborative project that aims to be the hub of different ontologies applied to evaluation methodologies. Indigenous evaluation perspectives, decolonized evaluation, southern evaluation, Culturally Responsive Evaluations, ethnic, religious and gender perspectives in evaluations from around the world come together here, to facilitate analysis, reflection and reflexivity of evaluators.
It seeks to amplify the criteria, the evaluation questions and indicators, promoting really useful evaluations for decision makers in the public sector, but also for principals and recipients in a community or a special sector, and make a difference.
The presentation will show a website created to this end, to easily navigate and use the information, and will share some common issues and differences between cases, highlighting good practices and challenges.
