Evaluation in the context of social innovation (in French)

Event Date: 2025-01-23 SQEP Deadline: 2025-01-22

Social innovation projects, often carried out by organisations involved in the social economy and community action, have evaluation needs that vary according to the level of maturity of the project. Based on tools developed by the RQIS as well as on certain concepts available on the TIESS website, the training will allow participants to better understand the concept of a social innovation project, to assess its maturity and to deploy appropriate evaluation methods. Methods to inform the emerging strategy (theory of change, evolutionary evaluation), support experimentation (prototype evaluation) and prepare for the scaling up of an initiative (impact measurement) will be discussed.
