Participant will gain a) a critical appraisal of the inflation of "innovations" in evaluation; b) learn about some new trends in evaluations by ADB, Deval, GCF, World Bank and others. This relates to new data (geospatial), methods (artificial intelligence, virtual missions), knowledge brokering (evidence gap maps), capacity development (GEI) and addressing cross-cutting topics (climate change / environmental sustainability).
