Stakeholder participation in evaluation is important for principles of efficiency and effectiveness. However, the present status of participation is limited, with marginalized communities and women only participating in implementation. Challenges to participation include language barriers, gender dynamics, timing, and power hierarchies. Moving forward, evaluations should use participatory methods from the beginning in local languages with separate women's groups. This establishes evaluation as a learning process for all stakeholders.

With exceptions, implementing agencies & field staff have little say
in evaluation process and outcome
With exceptions, evaluation teams exercise power over implementing

Lecture fsw 2013 short version stakeholders and participation

Henk Massink

This document discusses stakeholder participation in river basin management. It outlines the reasons for stakeholder participation, including bringing local knowledge, financing, manpower, and initiatives. Key elements of integrated water resources management that involve stakeholders are coordinating different groups, focusing on both economic and environmental concerns, using scientific data, and ensuring proper governance. The Water Framework Directive also mandates participation. Stakeholder analysis involves identifying and categorizing stakeholders, assessing their power and interests, identifying assumptions and risks, and determining appropriate levels of participation. Challenges to participation include issues around representation, accountability, scale, timeframes, and jurisdiction.

DiverseCity Counts 5: Leadership Diversity in the Nonprofit Sector: Baby Step...

Maytree

This document summarizes research on leadership diversity in the nonprofit sector in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The research found that while some progress has been made, visible minorities only make up 15.6% of board members compared to 40% of the GTA population. Having a "critical mass" of over 30% diverse members makes more of a difference. Diversity is shown to improve governance, strategic planning, and board performance. Organizations are taking steps like formal diversity policies and recruiting efforts, but more bold stances are needed to fully achieve inclusive leadership.

Developmental Evaluation: Tips, Tools, & Lessons Learned.

Innovation and Technology for Development Centre

Developmental Evaluation is an analytical approach that uses information collection, sense-making and evidence-based decision support to facilitate adaptive management of complex social programs and interventions. It is needed because development challenges are often "wicked problems" that are complex with unclear boundaries and unpredictable dynamics. Developmental Evaluation uses tools like Most Significant Change narratives, dashboards, and sentinel indicators to help platforms and partners continuously learn and adapt their approaches over time in response to changes in these complex systems. Good practices for Developmental Evaluation emphasize using multiple methods at different scales, facilitating intentional learning discussions, balancing rigor with useful information, and fostering partnerships focused on joint learning rather than transactional relationships.

Accountability and Leaning

phongnq

This document discusses accountability and active community participation throughout project cycles. It emphasizes that accountability to beneficiaries is central to monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning (MEAL). Active community participation, including providing information, consulting, collaborating and empowering stakeholders, helps ensure accountability and that programming meets community needs. The document also provides exercises and examples of mapping participation and feedback mechanisms to understand their strengths, weaknesses and how they can be applied during different stages of a project cycle.

This study aims to understand the challenges of post-merger integration and how to overcome them. The research questions examine the cultural dimensions and their impact, common challenges, and success factors related to culture. The methodology includes questionnaires, interviews, and literature review. Results found the key dimensions are teamwork, rewards, and communication. Challenges include managing culture, achieving synergies, and employee engagement. Success factors are cultural assessment, system harmonization, governance, and strong due diligence. The presentation recommends putting culture at the heart of integration, transparency in communication, and thorough due diligence to bring positive value from M&A.

Developing Performance Measures Through a Consultative Process

CesToronto

This document summarizes the development of performance indicators to measure the impact of Ontario's Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). It involved background research, consultation with stakeholders, and a priority sorting process. Twelve indicators across five domains (customer service, employment, information, transportation, public spaces) were recommended to capture changes in quality of life. The process highlighted that people with disabilities want to provide input and see the AODA taken seriously. It also showed that online surveys can effectively engage stakeholders if organizations represent populations.

Objective of intervation

Praveen Rathod

Organizational development interventions are structured activities aimed at organizational improvement. There are four main reasons for interventions: the organization has a problem, sees an opportunity, has misaligned features, or needs a changed vision. Interventions are typically part of an overall strategy and address goals, receptive parts of the organization, leverage points, and available resources. Interventions can be designed to improve individuals, groups, intergroup relations, or the total organization. Successful transformations establish urgency, form guiding coalitions, create visions, communicate visions, and empower others. Interventions include diagnostic activities, teambuilding, surveys, education, structural changes, and organizational transformations.

Notes on participation

Jorge Carrillo

This document discusses participation in development. It defines participation as people's involvement in decision-making, program implementation, and benefits, as well as their role in evaluation. There are two main types of participation: instrumental participation focuses on project outcomes and sustainability, while transformative participation empowers communities to take independent action to improve their situation. The document also examines conceptual contexts around development, inclusion and exclusion, and criteria for classifying different levels of participation, from passive to self-mobilization. It explores how participation and citizenship are linked, with citizenship participation based on extending participation rights.

ILRI

This document summarizes the results of a gender capacity assessment conducted in Ethiopia with various partners involved in the small ruminant value chain. The assessment found that overall, the partners lacked capacity in core gender areas. Development partners scored higher than research partners at both the organizational and individual levels.

The assessment provided recommendations to strengthen gender capacities through tailored training interventions.

The Evolution of Philanthropic Evaluation and Assessment in China

Andrew Ho

Philanthropy has grown rapidly in China in recent years but evaluation of philanthropic efforts has not taken off due to cultural factors like emphasis on accountability and mistrust of institutions; evaluation can help improve grantmaking and learning but must focus on contribution over attribution, involve collaboration instead of individualism, and embrace failure; readiness for evaluation in China may require commitment from funders, understanding of evaluation's value, and leadership from organizations like the China Foundation Center.

Final presentation v 13 12 2012

Dr Surendra Kumar Mishra

The document proposes a participatory M&E framework for MAMTA HIMC, an NGO working in women and child health in India. It identifies MAMTA's current challenges in measuring long-term outcomes and empowering communities. The proposed framework involves forming community-based organizations during projects that are empowered to conduct M&E after projects end. This would allow MAMTA and local governments to collect long-term outcome data and ensure the sustainability of M&E processes in communities. The framework draws from literature on participatory monitoring and evaluation and was informed by interviews with MAMTA staff and partners.
