The PiP Seminar Series is back for another year, and we’ll be kicking off this year’s series with an insight into the challenges that practitioners face in evaluating and monitoring their projects.
A curated panel of evaluation experts and prevention practitioners will explore some of the most pressing questions that practitioners ask about the evaluation process:
- Why is robust evaluation important to PVAW projects? And how does it support practitioners’ learning and amplify project impact?
- How do practitioners move beyond a simple ‘box ticking’ approach and fully embrace project evaluation to facilitate learning and initiate transformative change?
- How do practitioners balance the need for robust evaluation with limited funding, time and capacity?
- How do practitioners ensure their evaluation approach is feminist and intersectional?
This seminar will give you the opportunity to pick the brains of the expert panel.
