🔴 Exciting News: The Merger of EvalForward and Earth-Eval Communities of Practice. 

Dear Members, 
We are pleased to announce the merger of the EvalForward and the Earth-Eval Communities of Practice on Evaluation! 🤝 
This merger unites two dynamic networks of evaluation professionals to create a stronger platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and professional growth, now known as #EvalforEarth, supported by the evaluation offices of FAO, WFP, GEF, and CGIAR.

#EvalForEarth is a dynamic Community of Practice dedicated to advancing evaluation in Food Security, Environment, Agriculture and Rural Development.

◾ We believe that robust evaluations generate insights that drive better decisions, foster innovation, and enhance development outcomes thus supporting progress towards sustainable food systems. 

Together, we will:
✔️ Expand evaluation skills and practices globally. 
✔️ Promote knowledge exchange on Food Security, Environment, Agriculture and Rural Development. 
✔️ Cultivate shared learning to enhance the practical impact of evaluations. 
✔️ Boost inter-agency collaboration to raise the visibility and influence of evaluations, promoting an evidence-driven culture. 

◾ We are committed to developing a collaborative and supportive community where members can learn from each other, share experiences, and advance their evaluation skills. 

We invite you all to the official launch of the merged community of practice: #EvalforEarth! This will take place during the #IDEAS2025 Conference in Rome on 5 March 2025 from 18:00 to 19:30 at the FAO-Rome offices. 

Stay tuned for more information about #EvalforEarth. 

🔴 In the meantime, feel free to reach out to us at info@evalforward.org if you have any questions. 📧

We are excited about this opportunity to create a stronger, more vibrant community for evaluation professionals!
