Associated with  NSF INCLUDES National Network

The Evaluation + Design: Evaluating Systems Change workshop, which will be held from May 22nd to the 23rd in Ottowa, ON, aims to go deeper on one of the most critical – and difficult to assess – challenges of making sustained progress on complex issues: evaluating the changes in the systems underlying complex challenges. The format of this workshop will provide participants with: 

  1. A review of the foundational ideas around evaluation, systems thinking and systems change.
  2. A new results framework that outlines ‘archetypical’ outcomes in systems change efforts
  3. A template for designing evaluation scopes of work.
  4. A set of principles to guide innovators and evaluators in designing and implementing system change evaluations.
  5. An exploration of a dozen methods and techniques that should be part of any system change evaluation tool box – and links to scores of other resources for those interested in more.
  6. The use of interactive exercises, case studies, and real world vignettes to make ideas and methods concrete.
