Join us at the 15th European Evaluation Biennial Conference in Rimini, Italy, from September 23-27, 2024. This year's theme, "Better Together: Collaborative Thought and Action for Better Evaluation," resonates deeply with our mission at the CGIAR Independent Advisory and Evaluation Service (IAES). We are excited to contribute to this global dialogue on advancing evaluation practices.
Our team will be participating in 10 insightful sessions that explore various dimensions of evaluation, from integrating gender approaches to navigating evaluation during crises. These sessions are designed to provide valuable insights and foster collaborative learning among evaluation experts. Below is a list of our sessions with dates, times, and locations.
