About the workshop
Evaluation is a key component of engaging in changemaking work. Through different evaluation techniques, we can determine what a community most needs in order to move forward in a good way; analyse the impacts that our projects, initiatives, directivities, programs or policies are having; and, tell the stories that need to be shared to inspire, empower, catalyse change and sustain your initiatives. This workshop, led by Dr. Chúk Odenigbo (PhD), Consulting Director of Impact Evaluation, offers participants an introduction to evaluation. We will be going over what evaluation is, the basic steps to conducting an evaluation, learnings on community engagement and how to ensure that when we do this work, we centre equity.
Language
The workshop will be conducted in English; however, the slides will be bilingual, all activities will be prepared in English and French.
The presenter is also bilingual in English and French and would be happy to receive questions in either official language.

3.5 Hour Virtual Workshops
