UNICEF Webinar 1 - Overview of Impact Evaluation

We often talk about the importance of knowing the impact of our work, but how is impact measured in practice? What are the ten basic things about impact evaluation that a UNICEF officer should know?

If these questions caught your eye, then you might be interested in viewing some or all of the eight impact evaluation webinars, organized by the Office of Research – Innocenti, and presented by evaluation experts from RMIT University, BetterEvaluation and the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) throughout 2015.

The first webinar is introductory in nature and will provide an overview of impact evaluation and cover topics such as what to include in a ToR, how to select and manage an evaluation team, and the key steps that must be planned for in an impact evaluation. Anyone interested in the basics of impact evaluation is encouraged to attend.

Throughout 2015, BetterEvaluation partnered with the UNICEF Office of Research – Innocenti to develop eight impact evaluation webinars for UNICEF staff. The objective was to provide an interactive capacity-building experience, customized to focus on UNICEF’s work and the unique circumstances of conducting impact evaluations of programs and policies in international development. The webinars were based on the Impact Evaluation Series – a user-friendly package of 13 methodological briefs and four animated videos – and presented by the briefs' authors.
