EASY-ECO Conference on Sustainable Development Evaluations in Europe: From a Decade of Practices, Politics and Science to Emerging Demands (17-19 November 2010, Brussels)

The 2010 EASY-ECO conference in Brussels will firmly focus on the European perspective of evaluation of sustainable development (SD), taking stock of almost a decade of the EASY-ECO programme and SD evaluation practice at EU- and national levels in order to identify – with important European actors – the challenges ahead.

The conference is organised by Tom Bauler at the Free University Brussels (Université Libre de Bruxelles, ULB), and will take place in Brussels in the European Parliament, the Palais des Sciences, and the ULB, Campus Solbosch, on 17-19 November 2010. The call for papers has been published at the EASY-ECO website: http://www.sustainability.eu/easy/?k=conferences&s=brussels. Applications for EU Grants to cover the costs of participation are open until 15 May, 2010.

Key topics include: SD evaluation in the policy-making process; tools and instruments for the European Commission’s Impact Assessment (CEC-IA); SD and the evaluation of external dimensions of EU policies; SD evaluation and monitoring processes of the EU strategies; supporting vertical integration for multi-level governance through evaluation; horizontal collaboration in SD evaluation; role of municipalities and regions in advancing SD evaluation practice; diffusion of SD evaluation standards across international institutions; contribution of SD evaluation to good governance.

Information on the 2010 International Program for Development Evaluation Training is now available at www.ipdet.org and on-line registration is open.

This year marks IPDET’s tenth-year anniversary and we are very excited by the way this year’s program is taking shape. Once again this year, the Core program will offer eighty hours of instruction and learning in the fundamentals of development evaluation. Participants will also have more than 25 workshops to choose from in the two weeks that follow the Core, including several dynamic new workshops that will be of interest to you and your organization:

Building Evaluation within Ministries: Lessons Learned and Best Practices in Industrialized and Developing Countries-- taught by Frederic Martin, co-president of the Institute for Development in Economics and Administration

Assessing Program Impacts When a Statistical Evaluation Design Is Not Possible- taught by Michael Bamberger, consultant and author; and Frans Leeuw, professor, University of Maastricht and director, National Justice Research Center at the Hague

Evaluating Humanitarian Assistance, taught by John Cosgrave and Margie Buchanan-Smith, both experienced consultants and evaluators of international humanitarian aid

Improving Performance Assessment, Evaluation, and Learning in Foundations and Not-for-Profit Grant-Making Organizations, taught by Nancy McPherson, director of evaluation, Rockefeller Foundation and Phil Buchanan, president of the Center for Effective Philanthropy

Governance, Corruption and Development Evaluation: Role of Indicators and Empirical Tools by Dani Kaufman, Senior Fellow, Global Economy and Development program, Brookings Institution

Applicants can attend from one to four weeks. Participants have told us that they want the workshops to be longer and more in-depth, so this year we have increased the duration of many of the workshops. In addition to intensive learning in large and small groups, the program will be packed with special guest speakers, networking events, simulations with guest evaluation specialists, participant roundtables, poster board sessions and more.

Visit the website for more information about the program and our outstanding group of world-class instructors drawn from four different continents. Stay tuned as we will be posting more information about IPDET’s 10th year anniversary events as it becomes available.

Applicants: Note that you must register on the IPDET website www.ipdet.org before you can log in and access the on-line application form. If you experience difficulties with the application process, contact Mary Dixon, the IPDET Registrar, at mary_dixon@carleton.ca.

IPDET is a collaboration of the Independent Evaluation Group of the World Bank and Carleton University. A limited number of scholarships is available, thanks to the generous support of several donor organizations.

TrainEval is an advanced training programme for evaluation in development, which has been adapted to the specific requirements of the EC evaluation approach. It has successfully been implemented since 2008 and is now going into its 4th round.

Development co-operation (DC) of the European countries as well as the European Commission has a long history of conducting evaluations. Evaluation processes and methods have continuously been systematised and elaborated. Consequently, donor agencies, government authorities and development organisation require evaluators with a high degree of professionalism and expertise in up to date and versatile methods.

Increasingly complex DC interventions (programming, sector or thematic strategies, SWAP, budget support) as well as impact based evaluations require an extensive knowledge of these methods.

As a response to these requirements, AGEG Consultants eG together with Euronet Consulting EEIG has developed a tailor-made training programme, which provides participants with the necessary insights and a tool box of methods for conducting evaluations based on a defensible design and sound analysis leading to credible findings.

The dates for the next course:
Module 1
27.04. - 30.04.2010
Module 2
01.06. - 04.06.2010
Module 3
24.08. - 27.08.2010
Module 4
28.09. - 01.10.2010
