Abstract: Evaluators are increasingly being asked to examine complex and dynamic social and environmental change initiatives that call for equally dynamic approaches to evaluation. Developmental evaluation offers new ways to think about and approach evaluation to support and accommodate emergent, innovative and transformative processes that often define social change initiatives. Yet, many evaluators are unfamiliar with how to apply developmental evaluation approaches in real-world settings. This session will illustrate in practical terms how developmental evaluation was applied to the Convergence Partnership, an innovative group of national funders working to improve the places where people live so that everyone can be healthy. Evaluators attending this session will learn how developmental evaluation was applied to planning, data collection, analysis, reporting, and use of findings
The guide helps evaluators and communication practitioners put together an evaluation strategy that could work for communications campaigns for behavior or policy change, as well as for efforts to raise awareness of an organization or an issue

Based on recent work with the Youth Sexuality, Reproductive Health and Rights Initiative at Ford Foundation, this session will explore a framework for thinking about the different outcomes associated with digital and social media advocacy and mobilization strategies at the campaign, program, and organizational levels, as well as relevant evaluation tools and processes. In breakout groups, participants will discuss a) processes for defining and prioritizing outcomes associated with digital and social media strategies and b) best practices for combining online analytics with traditional evaluation methods to engage in strategic learning around advocacy and policy change goals
