Four Key Principles that Guide our Evaluation Approach
1. Eval Global Solutions Collaborates and Partners with Organizations to Assess Impact and Affect Change. We strive to create meaningful and true partnerships with all of our clients; and encourage their participation in the design and implementation of the evaluation. This will ensure that program evaluation is tailored to the specific needs of each of our clients.
2. Eval Global Solutions Ensures Usefulness of Evaluation and Assesses Issues that are of Highest Concern for Organizations. We collaborate with our clients to identify their highest areas of concern and greatest need for evaluation. In doing so, maximizes the usefulness of the evaluation for our clients. We want to ensure the “use” of the evaluation processes and findings to strengthen and improve programs.
3. Eval Global Solutions Infuses Cultural Competency into its Evaluation. Eval Global Solutions incorporate culturally competent approaches and methods throughout the entire evaluation process, including its design, implementation, and synthesis of key evaluation findings. We understand that evaluation takes place within cultural, social, historical, economic and political context that are defined by human existence and experiences. These contexts entail many dimensions such as race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion; as well as dimensions of power, class, equity, living situations, economy and other denominators of equity and sociopolitical status. It is therefore critical to consider and integrate cultural competency within evaluations.
4. Eval Global Solutions uses Evaluation in order to Generate Learnings for Improving Programs and not for Punitive Purposes or Creating Divisions. Eval Global Solutions strongly opposes evaluation for punitive and divisive purposes. We promote the sharing of our client’s evaluation findings to encourage learning and growth vs. stigmatizing ‘good’ or ‘bad’ programs. We work with those who participate in the evaluation in an objective but collegial and culturally-appropriate manner; and we use the evaluation as a means to further our client’s learning and progress.
