In this session, we’ll dive into the "nuts and bolts" of evaluating collective impact initiatives and how evaluation can be effectively woven into the planning and implementation phases. Drawing on best practices, we will explore the role of continuous evaluation in driving collective action, fostering accountability, and ensuring progress towards long-term goals. Participants will learn how to integrate evaluation frameworks that enhance decision-making, align stakeholders, and measure collective outcomes. By the end of the session, attendees will leave with practical tools and strategies for embedding evaluation into collective impact work from day one.
