Capacity Development and Coaching
For Evaluators
Do you want to do developmental evaluation but you don't know where to start? Are you leading a developmental evaluation that's a bit trickier than those that you've led in the past? We can support you through your process, sharing expert advice and insight based on years of practice.
For LEADERS
Are you unsure whether developmental evaluation is the approach for you? Do you want to do developmental evaluation but you don't know how to find the right evaluator or how to engage that evaluator or evaluation team? Do you want to propose the idea to your Board of Directors and could use the help of external expertise? We can help you make sound, informed decisions about how and when to engage in developmental evaluation.
FOR FUNDERS
Do you want to evaluate your impact on a large systems-change initiative but you don't know where to start? Do you want to conduct values-based evaluation that focuses as much on *how* grantees do their work as on pre-determined outcomes? We can support you in becoming a more responsive and adaptive philanthropic organization.
