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.

The Value of International Connections
I have been working as a Program Management and Evaluation Specialist for many years, and I felt that there was lack of connection with other evaluation and project management specialists outside of my country, so I joined CES. I would also like to contribute in community of practices, as legacy for future specialists.
So far, the opportunities to learn here are huge and I hope to take maximum advantage of them. As I just joined CES in 2024, I cannot evaluate yet the full added value of belonging – but I know it also depends on me and my willingness to contribute.
