With a community of over 1,400 members across the country and abroad, we provide a home for people working in the field of evaluation to connect and grow, so they can have a greater impact on everyone they serve.
Elevate your evaluation skills with the CES e-Institute, offering self-paced and facilitated courses designed by evaluators for evaluators.
The CE designation is the only professional title identifying professional evaluators.
The designation means that the holder has provided evidence of the education and experience required to be a competent evaluator. It is a service provided by CES to its members, who may elect to become credentialed on a voluntary basis. It recognizes competence and promotes continuous learning within our community.

There is growing recognition of the complex moral and ethical tensions associated with evaluation practice. However, there are scant evidence-informed frameworks for cultivating ethical awareness or informing ethical deliberation across the evaluation landscape. Thus, we aimed to synthesize research evidence on evaluation ethics, and draw on these findings to develop an evidence-informed evaluation ethics framework.

Les prémices de l’Organisation internationale de coopération en matière d’évaluation datent de 1997. Elles sont le fruit de l’initiative de plusieurs associations nationales d’évaluation qui permettent alors de placer l’évaluation au cœur des débats internationaux.

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.

Competence and Support
I joined CES in 2009 to be part of a community of evaluation professionals and engage in professional development
Accessing high-quality professional development opportunities, such as conferences, workshops, webinars and the Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation has helped me to continue to develop my competencies and keep up to date with the latest developments in the field.
The Credentialed Evaluator (CE) designation allows me to demonstrate that I am able to conduct high-quality evaluation work while also promoting the profession.
Having a community of evaluators to interact with has been immensely valuable. Being an evaluator can be lonely at times, and it's nice to have colleagues to turn to for support, camaraderie and mutual learning.
