This webinar explores the delicate link between evaluation independence and the degree of contextual knowledge, or embeddedness, that evaluators should have to provide unbiased evidence to support both development and organizational effectiveness in MDBs.
This “How do Organisations Learn?” recorded webinar animated by Ms. Erika Maclaughlin, Evaluation Officer , at the African Development Bank looks at theoretical perspectives from management science and industrial organizational psychology to identify a theory for how organizations learn. Reflecting on IDEV’s own experience, Ms. Maclaughlin explores the implications these perspectives have on planning for learning and the use of evaluation activities to contribute to the African Development Bank wider organizational learning agenda.
In 2016, IDEV exceeded its yearly targets. It completed 11 high-level evaluations, including a corporate evaluation, the Comprehensive Evaluation of the Bank’s Development Results (CEDR), seven country strategy and program evaluations (CSPEs), a country program case study, a regional integration strategy evaluation (RISE) for Eastern Africa, and an evaluation synthesis on Private Sector Development (PSD). It also completed two impact evaluations of country rural water and sanitation programs.
