Evaluating Impact to Maximize Change 

Beyond measurement, evaluation is also a form of storytelling. The data and insights gathered allow us to highlight the tangible and intangible impacts of our work, whether through transformative personal experiences, changes in community dynamics, or measurable improvements in outcomes. These stories, based on evidence, become powerful tools to inspire action, foster collaboration, and encourage change. By conducting thoughtful evaluations, we create opportunities for learning, adaptation, and celebration, thereby strengthening our collective ability to drive sustainable change. 

How can you know if your actions are having a real impact on the ground? This interactive workshop provides a comprehensive overview of impact evaluation, offering practical tools to identify, measure, and analyse the significant results of your initiatives. You will learn how to develop relevant indicators, collect and interpret data, and use your findings to guide your decisions and maximise the impact of your actions. 

Through collaborative discussions and creative activities, you will make connections between your results and the values that drive your work. Join this space for learning and inspiration, and leave with practical skills, a renewed vision, and concrete ideas to amplify change in your projects. 

Language: The workshop will be conducted in English; however, the slides will be bilingual, all activities will be prepared in English and French and the presenter is also bilingual in English and French and would be happy to receive questions in either official language.

Chúk Consulting

Chúk Odenigbo

Dr. Chúk Odenigbo (PhD) is the Consulting Director of Impact Evaluation at the Tamarack Institute Learning Centre. Proudly Franco-Albertan, Chúk is passionate about the ways in which the environment impacts human health and the role of justice in our understanding of how our societies function. This passion manifests itself in his work where he focuses on environmental and climate justice in his efforts to not only make green spaces accessible for everyone; but to fight environmental racism in all its forms and to popularise the understanding that you cannot create a society that is environmentally friendly if that same society is not just.  

Chúk has worked in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, fashion retail, and academia. He is interested in the multidisciplinary nature of our existence and in exploring new solutions that respond to recurring problems. Chúk was ranked amongst the top 30 Sustainability Leaders under 30 by Corporate Knights, the top 30 Change-Making Albertans under 30 by the Alberta Council for Global Cooperation, the top 10 young Franco-Albertan leaders by Radio-Canada and the top 25 environmentalists under 25 in Canada by the Starfish for three years. Chúk was awarded the Eugène C.-Trottier award for his contribution in making his community more visible and more welcoming for all, and was named the 43rd Ashley Fellow at Trent University; the youngest person and first Black person to receive both of these distinctions.
