The workshop will help you deal better with disruption, uncertainty and significant change so that you and your organization are more resilient and better at anticipating and adapting to disruption in the future.

We will focus on real time case studies drawn from workshop participants to retrofit, adapt or create new initiatives that are sensitive to external shocks, stresses and hazards, and together learn impactful strategies for adapting program monitoring and evaluation in a time of Covid-19.

Understanding the gendered impacts of COVID 19 will also be addressed with strategies that seek social transformation in gender relations in order to achieve greater gender equality. You will learn how to use new online technologies to work in teams remotely in a participatory and inclusive way.
