The session is focused on how transformational change is conceptualized and accounted for by evaluation organizations, and how evaluators and evaluation systems are capturing - and encouraging - transformational change. We will explore a selection of approaches and case studies to discuss the intersection of transformational change and meeting global development and environmental goals. We will also hear about lessons learned from the IDEAS, WB and IFAD Evaluation for Transformational Change Award. There will be time devoted to open discussion and Q&A, with a focus on pragmatic tools and strategies for integrating transformational change into evaluation practice.
