These examples have been contributed for discussion at the 'flipped conference' session of the American Evaluation Association to be held Saturday (November 11, 2017) 09:15 AM - 10:00 AM in the Thurgood Marshall North Room.
In this flipped conference session, we invite participants and evaluators, evaluation managers and evaluation capacity developers around the world to build and share knowledge about what can be done to support the use of evaluation findings after they'v

We often get email enquiries asking for advice about preparing the documents used to invite evaluators to assemble proposals for an evaluation.
Many evaluations include a process of developing logic models and theories of change – an explanation of how the activities of a program, project, policy, network or event are expected to contribute to particular results in the short-term and longe
