gLOCAL 2024 opening event: Rethinking evaluation: Driving transformative change (Webinar)

On May 29, the 2024 gLOCAL Evaluation Week kicked off with a virtual discussion on how evaluation can drive transformative change.

The session featured inspiring and heart-warming stories from six female evaluators who shared their personal journeys through the world of evaluation and their perspectives on why and how evaluation should contribute to transformation.

The event signals the opening of gLOCAL, an annual knowledge-sharing event organized by the Global Evaluation Initiative (GEI). gLOCAL 2024 runs from June 3 to 7 with more than 370 online and in-person events hosted by organizations and institutions from different regions of the world.
