[Optional Activity] S2: Workshop on the role of evaluation in crisis settings: methods and experience

01:30 pm - 05:00 pm

A workshop co-hosted by the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of the New Development Bank (NDB), the Center for Evidence-based Social Science (CEBSS) of Lanzhou University, and Global Evaluation Initiative (GEI).

Crisis settings pose challenges for evaluations. Practitioners often dismiss evaluation as a luxury which cannot be afforded at times of crisis. This is a mistake. The need to learn from experience—what works, what doesn’t, where and for who, and why—is every bit as important in a crisis setting. 

Sessions include: Evaluations in crisis settings; Applying the DAC criteria in crisis settings; Economic analysis; Case studies.

Presenters include Howard White (CEBSS, Lanzhou University), and speakers from J-PAL South Asia, NDB, OECD and the Chinese Government.
