Advanced Humanitarian Evaluation Practice and Ethics with ALNAP (Active Learning Network for Accountability and Performance in Humanitarian Action)
17-18 June 2010, Intermediate to advanced level.
This advanced training in the Evaluation of Humanitarian Action
focuses on dealing with practical challenges in evaluation. This workshop is for those with extensive experience of evaluating humanitarian action, either as an evaluator or an evaluation manager.
It will provide an opportunity for participants to reflect on their own
evaluation experience and to use this and the experiences of their
peers to improve their own work.
The course will focus on areas which often pose challenges for evaluators and evaluation managers. It will also equip participants with a range of evaluation and evaluation management tools and resources, so that those who wish can deepen their knowledge of particular aspects of evaluation.
The course will touch base on Real-time evaluation, joint evaluation, the question of utilisation of evaluation, trends and provide guidance on ethical issues in evaluation. There is room and flexibility built into the schedule which means that the final schedule will depend on the evaluation issues and concerns brought by the participants.
The course will take place at Orshof (www.orshof.be) near Brussels and will be led by Margie Buchanan-Smith and John Cosgrave, two humanitarian evaluators whose broad experience will ground the course.
Further information: application form and course outline will be available in week 9.
