In an era where the competing priorities of understanding what drives policy, program, and service success—or lack thereof—and reduced evaluation resources prevail, how can you maintain the integrity and impact of your evaluations?
In this webinar, our evaluation veterans will discuss how to deliver 'the Toyota' of evaluations, as opposed to 'the Ferrari', by focusing on the fundamentals of credible evaluation within your context. They'll explore the delicate balance of making necessary compromises while avoiding detrimental ones, including strategies for scenarios where there simply isn’t enough capacity to deliver your evaluation work program.
