Upcoming Webinar – Cross Cultural and International Evaluations: What works? What doesn’t?

The Canadian Evaluation Society (CES) is hosting an upcoming webinar on Cross Cultural and International Evaluations. See below for a description of the webinar from the CES.

There are many aspects of cross cultural and international evaluations that are similar to other types of evaluation work. However, some practises are particularly important, and they are the focus of this webinar. Through the webinar we plan to explore several lessons of international and cross cultural work relating to planning and conducting evaluations.  Topics will include tips for preparing for the evaluation (establishing the evaluation team), developing the evaluation plan, and challenges in conducting the evaluation.
