Knowledge Management and Communications Short-Term Consultant (STC)

Terms of Reference

Period of work: May 1st – June 30th, very likely extension to next fiscal year 

IEGKC seeks an STC to join its Evaluation Capacity Development (ECD) team. The ECD team is responsible for two IEGKC projects: the CLEAR (Centers for Learning on Evaluation and Results) program and IPDET (International Program for Development Evaluation Training). 

Do We Really Need Training in Evaluation?

It’s a good question that many of us ask.  Training, after all, has a bad reputation in development circles – it is distinctly unfashionable and retro and anathema to building capacity.  A major IEG evaluation showed, for example, that although training resulted in individual learning, it led to improved organizational and institutional capacity only about half of the time.
