PowerPoint slides for AEA 2011 Think Tank session on evaluation follow-up from presenters Osvaldo Feinstein, Bidjan Nashat, Mike Hendricks. Session abstract: "This Think Tank will examine key challenges and lessons for international, humanitarian and development, organizations in evaluation follow-up. The utility of evaluations is widely recognized as a fundamental standard of quality evaluations, and evaluations are premised on their potential contribution to organizational effectiveness and learning. But in the real world, this is not always easy to achieve – many of us know of evaluation reports that collect dust on the shelf or are forgotten in the computer archive. How can evaluations be better planned, conducted, and reported upon to improve their follow-up, and ultimately increase their utility? How can organizations better design and employ processes and protocol for evaluation follow-up, such as management response and action planning?

Ever read an evaluation report and been none the wiser about whether the whole program was a waste of money or not? Or one that didn't actually answer any useful questions of key importance to decision makers? What if evaluations actually asked evaluative questions and gave clear, evaluative answers?

Presentation Abstract: This Presidential Strand session is designed as an hour and half session designed to challenge evaluation practitioners to consider the meaningfulness of our work is a world than is growing increasing complex along ‘racial, ethnic, class, religious, economic and other socio-political lines’. The ‘racial fault-line’ is perhaps the most complex (and sensitive) of these to address constructively in a professional evaluation setting dedicated as we are to gathering and analyzing data to inform policies, practices and programs to shape a better society
