Community and Grantee Voice in Evaluation Design Leslie J. Cooksy, Evaluation Director Presentation at Grantmakers In Health March 7, 2014
External Evaluator Stakeholders
Role of the External Evaluation • Learn about: • Public-private partnership • Community-driven process • Grantee services
Strategies from RPC & Grantee Voices • Participated in selection of external evaluation team • Provided input to external evaluation design • Reviewed final design • Provide oversight of evaluation process and findings
Goals for Engaging RPC & Grantees • Relevant evaluation questions • Feasible, less disruptive evaluation methods • Commitment to participating in evaluation activities
The Downside • It’s work • It can raise expectations • It doesn’t satisfy everyone
Questions for you • What strategies have you used to engage grantees in evaluation? • What challenges have you faced? • Have you been able to find “the sweet spot”?
Thank you • Paul Cecchettini • Lyn Corbett • Iffat Hussain • Leslie Napper • Information about the RPC: http://www.shfcenter.org/rpc
