Evaluation Capacity Building
Increasingly, nonprofit and philanthropic organizations are strengthening their capacity to conduct evaluations in-house.
There is often a steep learning curve to develop the skills and expertise necessary to evaluate complex programs and initiatives. We provide tailored training and coaching to support organizations’ learning and growth in the evaluation field, and supplement their evaluation capabilities with ongoing technical assistance. Through long-term project engagements, we also build the evaluation capacity of our clients internally over time.
Innovation Network provides comprehensive trainings, either in person or online, on a number of evaluation topics, including:
- The Fundamentals of Evaluation
- Theories of Change, Logic Models, and Evaluation Plans
- Data Collection, Analysis, and Reporting
- The Fundamentals of Advocacy Evaluation
- Coalition Assessment
We have trained thousands of individuals over the past two decades. Additionally, the Point K Learning Center houses collaborative tools for planning and evaluation, and features a searchable database of almost 500 free online resources for evaluation and capacity building. More than 20,000 people worldwide are registered users of Point K.
