Let’s continue the collaborative efforts started at this year’s AEA conference! Join the next WE Fishbowl Session as we continue to work together to brainstorm and come up with helpful ideas to innovatively improve the field of evaluation by addressing challenges which plague many evaluators.
November 20th Session Scenario for Discussion
“Jeremy, an independent evaluation consultant, has been contracted to evaluate a poverty alleviation program operating in an economically disadvantaged community. The program aims to reduce poverty by offering participants access to job training, financial literacy, and resources for economic mobility.
