Organizations deliver the interventions (e.g. programs, strategy, policy) that we evaluate. Therefore, the ability to assess, understand, and advise organizational capacity development in relation to these interventions is an important skill set in the evaluator’s toolbox. This workshop will bridge theoretical concepts with practical, hands-on guidance for organizational capacity assessment (OCA), stressing a heuristic, systemic approach that can be adapted to different organizational contexts. It is appropriate for evaluation specialists or those who commission, manage, or use OCA. By the end of the course, learners will understand OCA, when it is useful, its key principles, different OCA frameworks, and practical considerations during the inception, implementation, and follow-up phases of OCA. Hands-on tools and resources will be introduced that can be adapted to a variety of organizational contexts to approach and support OCA.

Transformative evaluation provides a lens for evaluators who work in contexts of inequality and adversity with the goal of social transformation. It supplies an umbrella that encompasses evaluations designed to support the transformation of marginalized communities, such as people living in poverty, women, people with disabilities, racial and ethnic minorities, indigenous communities, homeless people, sexual minorities, and others. It seeks to answer the question: How should we design our evaluations to contribute to a more socially, economically, and environmentally just society?This course is delivered in two virtual, instructor-led modules. Read about each of the modules below. Classes will take place online via Zoom. Certificates of completion will be provided at the end of the course to all participants who have successfully completed the modules.
