    IDEAS Global Assembly

    Bangkok, Thailand

    Organizer: IDEAS
    Evaluation practitioners and policy-makers from around the world will gather at the Millennium Hilton Hotel in
    Bangkok (Thailand) on October 26-30, 2015, to discuss and learn from each other about this year’s Conference Theme:

    “Evaluating Sustainable Development”

    The event is co-hosted by DFID and organized co-jointly with the Fourth International Conference on National Evaluation Capacities.

    Why Attend the 2015 Global IDEAS Assembly?

    · Are you an evaluation professional with a keen interest in international development?
    · Are you an evaluator and you are trying who to expand your international portfolio?
    · Are you interested in learning more about international evaluation practices and global perspectives on where the evaluation field is going?

    If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you will greatly benefit from attending the 2015 Global Assembly organized by the International Development Evaluation Association (IDEAS). The event, held in Thailand at the Millennium Hilton Bangkok from October 28 to October 30, 2015, will be taking place in parallel to the Fourth International Conference on National Evaluation Capacities. During the two days before the conference starts (October 26-27) world-renowned experts will also present workshops aimed to strengthen participants’ technical skills and enlarge their methodological toolset, in view of the new Sustainable Development Goals Agenda and the challenges that come with it.

    Conference Highlights
    Conference keynote speakers, providing inspiration for both conferences, include:
    · Vinod Thomas, Director-General of the Independent Evaluation Group of the Asian Development Bank; and
    · Marco Segone, chair of the UN Evaluation Group and Director of the Independent Evaluation Office of UN-Women.

    Many other international evaluation professionals will be presenting and chairing panel sessions on a wide variety of subjects, such as South-South Collaboration, Qualification of evaluation professionals and New frontiers for evaluation in a fast changing world.Some of the participants will include:
    · Emanuel Jimenez, Executive Director of 3ie;
    · Penny Hawkins, Head of Evaluation of DFID and Chair of the DAC Evaluation Network;
    · Richard Levin, Chair of the South African Monitoring and Evaluation Society

    More About the Conference Theme
    The theme for the Global Assembly is “Evaluating Sustainable Development”. In response to the need for measuring effectively and attaining the so-called Sustainable Development Goals (2015-2030) in a timely manner, the event will especially cater to all those evaluation professionals(including policy makers, programmers, politicians)who will be called upon to contribute to such goals in their own day-to-day work. Since it will be essential to integrate environmental concerns and ecosystem services in our thinking to make our societies and economies more sustainable in the future, the Conference will strive to emphasize the balance that evaluators and policy-makers will need to look for across the social, economic and environmental domains. In doing so, presentations held during the Global Assembly will especially focus on such fundamental themes as equity and gender, public service and market-based interventions, democratic governance and accountability.

    Background
    The International Development Evaluation Association (IDEAS), established in 2002, is the only global professional evaluation for individual members and the only association focused primarily on development evaluation. It has more than 750 members from more than 70 countries, with a majority of members living in the global South, possessing a great variety of backgrounds, from the private sector to philanthropy, from governments and international organizations to local communities, and from academia to action oriented grass-roots organizations. The mission of IDEAS is to “improve and extend the practice of development evaluation by refining knowledge, strengthening capacity, and expanding networks for development evaluation, particularly in developing and transition countries.”

  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.

  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.
