The discussion on Evaluating South-South and Triangular Cooperation is now entering its 2nd week!
Week 1 featured a vibrant exchange of ideas from global evaluation experts, unpacking how to strengthen the evaluation of SSTC in a shifting aid landscape.
Highlights from Week 1 contributors:
Carlos Tarazona (FAO) emphasized the importance of moving beyond traditional donor-recipient dynamics, advocating for demand-driven approaches and using participatory evaluation to ensure national ownership and relevance. Zhiqi X. (Erasmus University) encouraged attention to grassroots actors and suggested applying behavioral science and people-centered methodologies to evaluate intangible outcomes. Vinesh P.(Canopy and Culture) highlighted participatory methods like outcome mapping and community-led storytelling to better reflect lived experiences and co-created change. Serdar Bayryyev (FAO) underscored the importance of multi-stakeholder partnerships and participatory engagement, aligning with the principles of the 2030 Agenda.
As we step into Week 2, we invite you to contribute your experiences, tools, and reflections: - What innovative methods have you used to evaluate SSTC? - How can we better capture mutual learning, ownership, and intangible benefits?
