Join the second Future of Evaluation dialogue

The second Future of Evaluation dialogue on 23 September 2025, held in observance of the International Day of Peace (21 September), will delve into the critical role of evaluation in navigating the complexities of global instability and humanitarian crises and fostering peace and resilience. This dialogue will discuss adaptive and context-sensitive evaluation, which, by adhering to the "Do No Harm" principle, offers a blueprint for more responsive and ethical evaluation everywhere.

The session will also cover the use of mixed methods and innovative data sources to understand complex environments, demonstrating the broader shift toward integrating technology and diverse data into all evaluative practices. It will also focus on locally led evaluation, underscoring the importance of community participation for both effective peacebuilding and for shaping evaluation to be more equitable in the present and the future. The dialogue will also address capacity building for evaluators working in these challenging contexts.
