gLocal: Junior MEL Practitioners, Inclusive and Participatory MEL

Jun 1, 2021 | by

Summary

Itad would like to convene two learning and exchange workshops for young and emerging evaluators from across the world. These events aim to open a space for junior M&E professionals to learn and improve existing skills, network with their peers and come up with innovative ideas that can contribute to broader thinking around ‘building back better’ with a user focus in the MEL field.

The target audience for these workshops are young and emerging evaluators seeking opportunities to exchange knowledge, experience and ideas for using participatory methods in all evaluation stages, particularly to work with youth in conditions in which interactions are increasingly virtual.

Session One Information

Session Name: Junior MEL practitioners workshop: inclusive and participatory data collection
Session Date and Time: June 1 , 03:30 pm ~ 06:00 pm
Session Criteria: (1) under 35 and/or have less than 3 years of experience in M&E or development (2) a working level of English (This is because the event will be run in English) (3) interested in learning about participatory MEL methods

Structure

  • Itad’s experience in participatory data collection with young people: in-person and remote examples
  • Description of a project situation that requires remote and participatory data collection methods, identifying key issues arising
  • Group exercise: participants are randomly assigned to groups, with the task of making suggestions to address these data collection issues
  • Groups present their solutions in plenary. Presenters should aim to demonstrate how their suggested solutions are effective, inclusive and innovative.
  • Wrap up on key ideas and learnings emerged during groupwork and presentations.
  • Best groupwork is chosen by workshop organisers according to criteria of feasibility, creativity and equity.

She is part of the team evaluating UK support to UN and Red Cross/Red Crescent agencies, which pays particular attention to the role of the innovative financing mechanism of Payment by Results. Laura’s previous experience includes two years managing a portfolio of DFID-funded economic reform projects in Afghanistan. She has also worked as an independent consultant supporting implementation teams to design and manage monitoring, evaluation and learning systems in sectors as diverse as energy, infrastructure, and natural resource management.Laura holds a master’s in the economics of public policy from the Barcelona Graduate School of Economics, and is skilled in a mix of both qualitative and quantitative evaluative methods.
