Description
EvalVoices is a space for evaluators, by evaluators—a platform driven by voices from the field to advance how we talk about and practise evaluation. Anchored in the EU’s commitment to an “evaluate first” culture, as highlighted in the EU Evaluation Policy and the Better Regulation Guidelines, the EvalVoices initiative serves as an inclusive platform to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and insights amongst evaluation professionals and thought leaders. It explores what works, and what doesn’t under which circumstances – while sharing cutting-edge tools, methods and approaches that shape relevant, context sensitive, inclusive, and successful evaluation practices. Launched by the European Commission, DG INTPA, DG ENEST, DG MENA, and FPI, EvalVoices builds on successful initiatives like EvalCrisis (2020) and Evaluation in Hard-to-Reach-Areas (2019). It serves both EC staff—including evaluation managers and M&E focal points—and the broader evaluation community. EvalVoices showcase first-hand learning and practical insights, and supports transparency, accountability, and collective learning in international cooperation and partnerships. |
