Workshop description:
Interventions are theories and evaluation is the test. This well-known reference is indicative of an influential school of thought and practice in evaluation, often called theory-driven or theory-based evaluation. While having been around for more than four decades, over the last decade theory-based evaluation has received new impetus and has become part and parcel of the toolkit of program evaluators across the globe.
The past decade has also seen a dramatic increase in impact evaluation debates and practices. While theory-based evaluation has often been cast as an alternative to quantitative counterfactual-based impact evaluation, in practice the two can reinforce each other. At the same time, the scope for applying different expressions of theory-based evaluations is much broader than impact evaluation only. The workshop will address the following main themes:
What is theory-based evaluation and why is it important?
What are useful principles for reconstructing a program theory?
How can we apply theory-based evaluation in practice?
Learning modalities:
Short interactive lectures;
Group exercise and presentations on the basis of an empirical case.
Learning outcome:
After this course, participants have developed an initial (but sound) understanding of the role of theory in evaluation and how to apply theory-based evaluation in practice.

Workshop description:
During this workshop, participants will work together to review current practices in monitoring and evaluation and identify how to ensure that “no one is left behind”. The workshop will provide some content on participatory and inclusive approaches to monitoring and evaluation (including a reflection on the dangers of including vulnerable and marginalized people) but these will simply be a starting point for what is intended to be a lively and engaging conversation.
A number of practitioners will share their experiences (both good and bad) of seeking to ensure that no one is left behind and lessons and some principles for application in a broad range of contexts will be distilled.
The workshop will not be a typical training course, even though there will be some content shared. Rather, it will be a participatory dialogue that will aim to generate a useful outcome that will be presented at the Conference. The process will also explore ways of making sure that the “Principles for inclusion and participation” are properly stewarded and applied across a broad range of sectors, including government, civil society and by donors.
This workshop will benefit M&E practitioners from both the Global South and North with interest in sharing experiences and learning from others about “leaving no one behind” to strengthen their own practice and that of others. Outputs from the workshop may feed into the Conference itself and/or a contribution to the conference proceedings.

Workshop description:
As an evaluator, do you find yourself in situations where you are expected to deliver high quality evaluations under time, financial, data and political constraint? If you are coming from a research background, you may find it challenging to cope with a number of constraints when asked to design and conduct an evaluation of a ‘real-world’ program. If it is the case, than this workshop is for you.
Typical constraints include lack of comparable baseline data, much less data on a relevant comparison group, and insufficient time or budget allocated by clients. How can you conduct adequately valid evaluations under such circumstances? The facilitator of this workshop will summarize the approaches advocated in the RealWorld Evaluation book, and share examples from her extensive and international experiences. She will emphasize the need for more holistic and practical approaches to impact evaluation.
While engaging in the current debates on different evaluation designs, the course will present the seven steps of the Real World Approach and will focus on challenges to conducting impact evaluations of complex and evolving programs in complex and evolving contexts. Through participatory processes we will explore techniques that help evaluators and clients ensure the best quality evaluation under real-world constraints like those
described above. Based on positive evaluations by participants in previous workshops, this one will focus on applying techniques during small-group work and discussions using case study exercises.
Learning outcomes:
Upon successfully completing this course, participants will be able to know:
- How to conduct adequately rigorous evaluations when it is not possible to follow “rigorous” research methodologies, such as randomized control trials (RCTs).
- For people relatively new to the field of evaluation, the course will be an introduction to the general principles of evaluation.
- For experienced evaluators, the course will address special issues involved in conducting evaluations under RealWorld constraints.

L’atelier explore les défis liés à l'optimisation des résultats de développement et la gestion basée sur la preuve dans les pays Africains, dans un contexte caractérisé par la dualité entre les priorités nationales et divers programmes de développement supranationaux tels que par exemple les ODD 2030 et l’Agenda de développement de l’Union Africain 2063. Il vise à attirer l'attention des participants sur l’utilité de disposer d’un système national de S&E cohérent, inclusif et fonctionnel pour soutenir la prise de décision éclairée, l’efficacité et l’efficience de l’action de développement. Il exposera une méthodologie en dix étapes pour concevoir un tel système. L'expérience de certains pays africains qui ont achevé avec succès les premières étapes de ce processus et des exemples de pays dotés de systèmes nationaux de S&E parvenus à maturité seront utilisés comme illustrations tout au long du cours. Cela permettra d'examiner comment l'évaluation a été/peut être utilisée au niveau des pays pour examiner les politiques et les plans nationaux afin de tenir compte des principes fondamentaux de l’agenda 2030 et accélérer la réalisation des ODD.
Le theme de l’atelier est parfaitement aligné avec le strands 1 sur "strengthening national evaluation systems" et le strand 2 sur "evaluation practice and the SDGs".
Les thèmes couverts sont : Les défis de l’alignement des agendas supranationaux avec les priorités nationales – la définition d’un Système national de Suivi & Evaluation et ses éléments constitutifs - 10 étapes de conception d’un système national de S&E axé sur les résultats (Morra Imas, Linda G.; Rist, Ray C.. 2009. ) – Quelques exemples de pays disposant de systèmes fonctionnels.
La stratégie d’enseignement alliera de brèves présentations magistrales, des lectures dirigées, des travaux en petits groupes et des discussions en plénière.
L’atelier cible les décideurs et les cadres du secteur public, mais aussi les parlementaires et les dirigeants de la société civile, quels que soient leur niveau et leurs connaissances en matière d'évaluation.

Description de l'atelier:
Prenant ancrage sur les définitions du concept d’Etats fragiles, de ses origines, ainsi que de la caractérisation desdits Etats, l’atelier s’appuiera sur l’analyse des pratiques opérationnelles des bailleurs dans les Etats fragiles, ainsi que sur les conclusions et leçons tirées de 4 missions d’évaluations conduites par le formateur dans des zones de conflits à l’Est de la RDC, ou post-conflit en Côte d’Ivoire et au Libéria.
Il s’agira d’illustrer les enjeux (de stabilisation, de relèvement communautaire, de cohésion sociale, consolidation de la paix et restauration de l’autorité de l’Etat), et les défis liés à la planification et à l’évaluabilité desdits projets (défi d’appréciation de l’impact des projets limités à la livraison des produits;
défi du passage du contexte de l’urgence humanitaire vers la résilience et le développement durable;
défi de la régularité du suivi et de la disponibilité de l’expertise technique dans un contexte de volatilité des conditions sécuritaires). Il s’agira également, d’une part, de mettre en évidence la valeur ajoutée de l’approche 3*6 développée par le PNUD, ainsi que le caractère novateur de la dimension frontalière du projet Côte d’Ivoire-Libéria, et d’autre part d’évaluer les limites des perspectives de capitalisation et de consolidation des acquis de telles initiatives.
Mots clés: Fragilité; Conflit; Post-conflit; Vulnérabilité; Stabilisation; Relèvement communautaire; Résilience; Autorité de l’Etat; Evaluabilité.
