Thank you Jackline, for sharing your experience and reflections. You raise an important point about the shift from learning to compliance and reporting when resources are limited. I agree that the challenge is not necessarily conducting fewer evaluations but losing opportunities for reflection and learning.
I would be interested to hear more about how organisations in your context are balancing donor reporting requirements with learning needs under these constraints.
We also continue to invite other colleagues to contribute to our Week 1 discussion, as highlighted by Mae:How have funding or resource constraints affected evaluation, learning and accountability processes in your organisation or context?
We welcome your experiences, examples and reflections from different contexts.
