Handout from session at 2011 AEA/CDC Summer Evaluation Institute

Description: Are you trying to build individual, team, program, and/or organizational capacity in evaluation yet are uncertain or stymied with what to do and how to do it? This workshop will draw from the US and international literature on evaluation capacity building as well as the presenter’s own experience in public sector organizations and work with community-based nonprofits. Key components of evaluation capacity building will be discussed with tips and strategies for each component that promote individual and organizational change. Bring your own ideas and strategies to share as we explore what works and what doesn’t in a participatory, interactive format.
