Conducting a discussion on the value of a completed evaluation should be based on the extent to which there is demand for its results. Today, an increasing number of evaluation specialists believe that it is crucial that evaluation results find a practical use. It is not enough simply to hope that those commissioning evaluations will actually use the produced results. The use of evaluation results must be planned in advance and supported throughout. The conference will discuss the following areas:
  • using the results of monitoring and evaluation when developing state policy (national, regional and local), as well as during assessing the activities of state agencies and local self-government;
  • existing practices of using monitoring and evaluation results to make management decisions;
  • available techniques for evaluation specialists to initiate the use of monitoring and evaluation results;
  • approaches to establish a culture of continuous organizational learning, ensuring the integration of monitoring and evaluation into the decision-making process;
  • create of a training system for personnel and decision-makers to employ the monitoring and evaluation results
Invited participants include: leadership personnel and staff from state, commercial and non-commercial organizations, researchers, consultants and faculty members from institutions of higher education.
