These are the slides from our Ignite session at AEA. In the nonprofit world, evaluation and accountability are closely linked. Much of the evaluation work that takes place is motivated, at least in part, by a desire to meet the requirements of funders, who hope to use evaluation results to ensure that their grantmaking is evidence based and impactful. These requirements have led to more evaluation work taking place, which is great. But has this dynamic also had negative consequences?#nonprofits #2016Conference #foundations #evaluationutilization
