Pathfinder : A Practical Guide to Advocacy Evaluation

(email from Pathfinder) Hi Rick. We recently published a new resource for the advocacy evaluation field.  Our new guide, Pathfinder : A Practical Guide to Advocacy Evaluation, comes in three editions-one each for advocates, evaluators, and funders. All three editions, plus a bibliography of useful resources, are free to download and share from our website:

• http://www.innonet.org/client_docs/File/advocacy/pathfinder_advocate_web.pdf
• http://www.innonet.org/client_docs/File/advocacy/pathfinder_evaluator_web.pdf
• http://www.innonet.org/client_docs/File/advocacy/pathfinder_funder_web.pdf
• http://www.innonet.org/client_docs/File/advocacy/InnoNet_Pathfinder_Resource_List.pdf

Pathfinder provides a “big picture” view for planning and conducting an advocacy evaluation. Drawn from Innovation Network’s research and consulting experience, the guide encourages the adoption of a “learning-focused evaluation” approach, which prioritizes using knowledge for improvement.
