In the fury of preparations, it is easy to lose sight of how much we have done, and how important it is to be working truly TOGETHER in this important movement of EvalPartners. So I put together this video to express my appreciation for the people of EvalPartners, and for what each and every one of you and those not in this email list…

In an effort to increase access to the cutting-edge evaluation knowledge being shared at the conference, the conference organizers decided…

I was fortunate to attend a session by Chris Collison, Knowledge Management specialist on learning.  He was one of the speakers at Africa Evaluation Association Conference  held recently in Yaounde, Cameroon. Here are some of the points Chris shared:
