SUMMARY:Webinar: Harmonizing South/North interests, worldviews and fra
 meworks
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 3-4 decades, North-South cooperation in the 
 ‘aid’ or philanthropy sectors has been an important focus for eval
 uation; much less so South-South, North-North or triangular cooperatio
 n. Despite some recent shifts, significant differences remain between 
 the ‘Global South’ and ‘Global North’. Yet these distinct part
 s of the world are interconnected, with interdependent development tra
 jectories of their communities, societies, countries and regions. This
  presents Blue Marble evaluators – and all those who work across suc
 h societies and their ecosystems – with important challenges that ar
 e surprisingly difficult yet crucial to address. Evaluation specialist
 s tend to pay only superficial attention to the assumptions and biases
  inherent in the different worldviews and experiences on which we base
  the frameworks and models against which we evaluate. Dominant narrati
 ves – usually from the North - influence our mindsets so that we do 
 not see the potential in less conventional approaches to ‘developmen
 t’ and ‘transformation’. Fortunately, we live in an era where su
 ccess stories from the South based on novel ways of working, including
  using complexity concepts, are growing in number. This provides the f
 ield of evaluation with new opportunities to be relevant and useful. Â
  \r\nThis webinar will highlight, with examples, three major issues re
 lated to North-South and South-South dynamics, and consider what these
  mean for the mindsets and competencies with which we commission and d
 o evaluation. Several Blue Marble Evaluation principles will inform th
 e discussion.\r\nPresenter: Zenda OffirRegister here https://bluemarb
