Evaluation and Transformation

Evaluation reimagined.

Transformations realised.

Dedicated to our beautiful planet. To every living and non-living being. To a partnership between people and nature. To harmony between societies. To valuing lives in the Global South equal to those in the North. To every person who deserves a life of hope and fulfilment.

And to better understanding the bigger picture that shapes how we think, and what we do.

I write about evaluation as a 'beautiful practice' - but a practice that has to change to meet the demands of this era. Below are my topics. Please keep on scrolling to see the most recent as well as popular posts, a theme cloud and how to subscribe to receive post updates.
