EVALUATION

We believe that effective evaluation is guided by a passion for learning and creating knowledge. We believe the purpose of evaluation is to improve programs, practices and behaviours leading to increased rigour and analysis. At the same time, we believe there are effective ways to assess the impact of philanthropic strategies over time that help funders know whether the work they are supporting is making a difference.
