Stop asking communities to participate in evaluation. Start inviting them to invest in it.
Ebony Reddock will share during the virtual workshop how collecting community feedback is not only important, but meaningful evaluation requires more than input. It requires investment, ownership, and shared purpose. In this interactive workshop, participants will examine common evaluator "tricks and traps," explore strategies for sharing power and decision-making, and learn how to create evaluation processes that communities see as valuable, relevant, and worth supporting. Whether you're designing a new evaluation or strengthening an existing one, you'll leave with practical tools for transforming community engagement from a checkbox activity into a genuine partnership.
