Transformation-focused evaluation: Designing and embedding evaluation that catalyses system change

This webinar explains how to bring a holistic transformation-focused lens into monitoring and evaluation. If we're serious about evaluation in contexts of transforming complex systems and disrupting problematic power dynamics, then we must accordingly transform the way we evaluate.

This webinar will introduce you to principles and methods for the emerging paradigm of transformation-focused evaluation (TFE). It will also illustrate how TFE frameworks can be designed, implemented and embedded in system change efforts, using a regional-scale food system transformation initiative - Food for the Future North Yorkshire - as a case study.

This webinar will be of interest not only to researchers evaluating their research impact, but also those seeking to build capacity in organisations and initiatives to remain adaptive and responsive, understand their impacts and contributions to system change, maintain transformational intent, and enable deeper forms of reflexivity and learning.
