Evaluation capacity building (ECB) is a growing area reflecting an ever increasing expectation of evidence that programs are achieving their goals. ECB is also reflective of the shift towards participatory evaluation methods. A logic model is used to integrate existing theory and frameworks. The broad-based synthesis method used derives from the evaluation syntheses developed at the Government Accountability Office and includes qualitative and quantitative data from the empirical ECB literature

This is the first section of a panel titled "Building and Evaluating a System Based Approach to Evaluation Capacity Building" which presented the recent work by the Cornell Office for Research on Evaluation under the direction of Bill Trochim. This section specifically provides an overview of the Systems Evaluation Protocol (SEP) and highlights how the systems evaluation approach embodied in the SEP helps partner organizations build evaluation capacity and produce high-quality evaluation plans. #ResearchonEvaluation #capacity #building #2009Conference #Planning #research #OrganizationalLearningandEvalCapacityBuilding #evaluation #SystemsinEvaluation #on

In her 2007 presidential address to AEA, Hallie Preskill asked, "how do we build the capacity of individuals, teams, and organizations to think evaluatively and engage in evaluation practice?" Evaluative thinking (ET) is mentioned with increasing frequency in the evaluation literature--especially in the evaluation capacity building (ECB) literature--but often only fleetingly

This paper presentation analyses evaluation approaches and methods that are typically used to assess the impact of development training at several levels: impact on individuals’ evaluation knowledge, professional practice, and institutional change. The authors discuss different types of evaluation approaches that use direct measures

Evaluation Capacity Building With Community-Based Organizations: Results of a Yearlong Planning Process and Curriculum As funders continue presenting grantees with reporting requirements of increasing scope and complexity, it is essential that nonprofit agencies have appropriate expertise and capacity to build meaningful evaluation into their work. Many community-based organizations, however, lack such capacity. In 2006, a Twin Cities coalition of 25 nonprofits, primarily community centers and others sharing settlement house values, first began discussing their capacity with respect to evaluation. One resulting goal was for evaluation to be embedded into each organization, for participating agencies to engage in intentional work to create and sustain overall organizational infrastructure and processes that would make quality evaluation and its use routine. In this paper, facilitators of the yearlong process that grew out of this goal share the results of two years spent working closely with participating organizations to clarify their understanding of Evaluation Capacity Building (ECB), help them assess their current evaluation capacity, and assist them in writing their ECB plans to implement the following year. #evaluation #nonprofit #community-based #2009Conference #building #organization #capacity #Evaluation2009 #learning #OrganizationalLearningandEvalCapacityBuilding

Capacity-building in evaluation has tended to focus on program-level managers and staff ignoring the key role that senior leaders also play in using evaluation for making better decisions. However, informed decision-making and evidence-informed practice depend on senior decision-makers having a full understanding and appreciation of evaluation. How can we best maximize their use of evaluation in planning and decision-making while also capturing the attention of these extremely busy individuals? This session will present on the evaluation of a unique tablet-based mobile learning designed specifically for senior health leaders that incorporates elements of personalization and interactive gamification. We will report evaluation findings around usability, stakeholder preferences and use, and early indicators of the effectiveness of mobile learning as an evaluation capacity-building tool
