    UKES event in London: Making sense of evaluation

    10.30am to 5pmLondon Metropolitan University, Graduate Centre, 166-220 Holloway Road, N7 8DB, London

    Introduction to the workshop

    Evaluation is now expected of every funded project, programme, policy and is a central part of the development of any organisation.  And numerous models/ approaches have arisen in response to this demand. Yet frequently the purposes for all this evaluation and which model or approach best serves each purpose is not clear. This training workshop aims to make sense of the different reasons for and approaches to evaluation to maximise the possibility that evaluation in practice will be useful for those it is intended to serve. This workshop will focus on the critical foundations of evaluation practice and would be of interest to people who carry out evaluation as well as those who are responsible for managing and using evaluation in their professional environments.

    In particular, it would be suitable for those who:

    • have evaluation responsibility in their organisations but little formal training
    • have some experience of evaluation but require more solid grounding


    The workshop will cover:     definitions of and reasons for evaluation; key concepts and principles in commissioning and planning an evaluation; evaluation design: logic mapping, models and different approaches to evaluation; data collection methods; further resources.

    By the end of the workshop, participants will have an understanding of: the purposes of evaluation; the key elements required in designing and planning an effective evaluation; the different approaches to evaluation (and their strengths and limitations); undertaking ‘logic mapping’ as a key element in evaluation design; an overview of the different data collection methods.

     

    The workshop format will be interactive, combining presentations, group discussions and practical exercises in small groups. Bring along a project in mind that you may be evaluating or that needs to be evaluated!

     Resources will be provided to attendees. This will include workshop presentations, reading material, and links to online material.

     Biography: Georgie Parry-Crooke is Professor of Social Research and Evaluation within the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at London Metropolitan University.

  1. Monitoring and Evaluation is the key for change and development. The presence of a project or a program without monitoring and evaluation is not fruit full and cannot effectively and efficiently utilize the available resources for the project or program implementation or delivery. So, the development efforts on monitoring and evaluation is very crucial and important as it gives ways, mechanisms or systems in which the objective projects or programs. I am happy to be part of this association. I would like to thank the organizers for providing this learning and information sharing opportunity on monitoring and evaluation.

  26. This year Ministry of Economic Development and Polish Agency for Enterprise Development hosts 12th International Evaluation Conference “Evaluation that matters. Ways to improve public policies.” The event will take place in Wroc?aw 21st – 22nd June in Mercure Hotel at plac Dominika?ski 1. The aim of the conference is to present the results of public policies in the European Union. The evidence provided by the evaluation study not only illustrates the results of the actions taken, but also explains the socio-economic mechanisms, opportunities and barriers of the countries concerned.

    The conference is a forum for increasing knowledge and skills, exchanging experience and research results. Thanks to this event, specialists involved in the evaluation process at various stages have a great opportunity to meet, develop contacts and understand different points of view. We are confident that this will have a significant impact on the preparation of high-quality evaluation research. By enhancing the quality of research and releasing the potential of institutions involved in the evaluation process, we contribute to a better policy.

We are confident that this will have a significant impact on the preparation of high-quality evaluation research. By enhancing the quality of research and releasing the potential of institutions involved in the evaluation process, we contribute to a better policy.

    The history of our conference dates back to 2005 when we organized the first edition of the event. Since then, our mission has remained the same and for the past twelve years we have been developing evidence, skills and knowledge across Europe so that we can obtain the best possible results of our work. “Results” is the keyword of our conference. The objective of the 12th conference is to present outcomes of public policies based on evidence from evaluation. Evidence delivered by the evaluation process not only present outcomes of taken up actions but also explain mechanisms, opportunities and barriers of particular economies. The second goal of this year’s event is to point out to fields which might present challenges for evaluation units in the near future. New technologies, developing and demanding both fields and methods and institutional determinants that influence final results importantly will constitute the second pillar of the event.

    During this year’s event we will focus on broadly defined systems of evaluation encompassing both evaluation culture and evaluation methodology. Participants will be able to learn from four different panels: (1) Causal effects in evaluation, (2) Evaluation culture across the world, (3) Evaluation of development programmes, and (4) Application of serious games in evaluation. We will also discuss outcomes of policies implemented within European Union during the last couple of years, stressing especially those that reflect results of cohesion policy.
