Why Evaluation in Crisis?
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced most of the world into isolation and this will likely remain so for some time. These unprecedented circumstances raise numerous questions for our work within the field of International Development and Cooperation. All of a sudden, the majority of the contexts have become ‘hard to reach’ and we meet challenges in accessing project beneficiaries and stakeholders.
This calls for donors and practitioners to reflect on what can and cannot be realistically done during this global emergency – and how. As the crisis unfolds, timely and adequate evaluation is bound to become even more important. However, methods of work and tools have to be adapted to the situation.
This initiative will help us learn lessons that are relevant not just now, but also for other crisis situations to come.
