This Ignite presentation explains how Oxfam America's Policy and Campaigns department monitors, evaluates and learns from campaign spikes. Spikes are short term high-profile public facing work within an advocacy initiative or campaign targeting a particular policy win. Using the example of Oxfam's work on the Arms Trade Treaty, the presentation goes through the spike evaluation process, including the monitoring and evaluation plan, team roles, common indicators and utilization of findings. This presentation is useful for anyone doing policy advocacy work and will be of particular interest to internal evaluators. This presentation demonstrates how an organization can evaluate short-term advocacy work with limited resources in a fast-paced, complex environment in a way that supports utilization and strategic learning.#EvaluationUse #Ignite #2013Conference #AdvocacyandPolicyChange #InternalEvaluation #Non-ProfitsandFoundationsEvaluation
