Inclusive and Equitable Evaluation Using a Theory of Change

Join the Canadian Evaluation Society Ontario Chapter for a new workshop on Inclusive and Equitable Evaluation Using a Theory of Change. Facilitated by Elizabeth Sweitzer, attendees will learn how evaluators and implementers create Theories of Change (ToCs) to clarify the reasoning behind a proposed initiative, illustrate how the intended transformation could occur in a specific setting, and provide evidence-based justifications for its potential to achieve meaningful outcomes. To foster fairness and social justice in our efforts, it is essential to question our own knowledge frameworks by recognizing and examining our biases to understand the implications of our methods. By employing a ToC not just as an outcome, but as an ongoing approach, evaluators can gain numerous advantages, such as: anticipating potential challenges, encouraging reflection and continuous learning, adjusting plans as needed, enhancing communication, securing (or maintaining) stakeholder engagement, and ensuring a smooth transition.

The cost of the course is $269 for CES members and $299 for general admission.
