(re) shaping evaluation together

The time for change is now. Evaluators, we have a responsibility to act with urgency to help transform the systems, policies, and practices that have created today’s challenges, and help build toward a more equitable, sustainable future. In 2022, the year of the Tiger, you are invited to bring your unique evaluation skills, competencies, and perspectives to (re) shaping evaluation together.  For this conference, we seek to create a space to explore three significant shifts that are disrupting evaluation practice, and that will influence how our field theorizes and applies evaluation to evidence-informed decision making.
