Funders International Network for Development – Locally-Led Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning
The seventh and final webinar of the “Evolving Practices of International Cooperation” peer-learning journey will take place on 25 June exploring “Locally-Led Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning” organised by the Funders International Network for Development (FIND).
Monitoring, evaluation, learning (MEL) and impact communication can take many forms, from logframes to quantitative data collection, to theory of change to outcome harvesting and impact storytelling. Yet with many commonly used tools stemming from Western frameworks or even originating from military planning, how do we broaden definitions, methodologies and technologies to acknowledge varying understanding of impact across organisations, communities, languages, and cultures?
During this final deep dive, we will hear from MEL practitioners that shift the power in their work and explore how we can move from externally-imposed metrics to local practices that balance power, promote mutual accountability, and value local knowledge, technologies and priorities. Through case studies and interactive dialogue, participants will explore practical ways to enhance locally-led MEL.
This webinar is part of the “Evolving Practices of International Cooperation” peer-learning journey dedicated to reimagining traditional philanthropic models and exploring new forms of international cooperation tailored for the 21st century.
