Parallel Session 10: Beyond metrics: evaluability tools for climate project success

03:30 pm - 05:00 pm
2F Ballroom 2

This session will showcase how evidence reviews, evaluability studies, and quality assessments strengthen learning in climate evaluation, particularly in contexts where prior evidence is limited. Presenters from the IEU will highlight what we know from evidence reviews, how evaluability studies, including work on theories of change and alignment with the RMF, can build readiness for impact evaluations, and lessons from quality assessments of project evaluations. Together with fellow panelists from other evaluation offices, the discussion will explore how these approaches inform project design, improve accountability, and contribute to building a stronger climate evaluation culture.
