A hands-on approach to evaluating programs in order to improve effectiveness and demonstrate impact.

The Community Sector Council of Nova Scotia is pleased to partner with the Tamarack Institute to offer this one-day learning event free of charge to non-profit organizations in the Annapolis Valley.

Through this workshop participants will:

Be conversant in key evaluation terms and approaches
Be better able to describe and document the impact of their programs.
Enhance their ability to join with others to develop and track collective impact.
Sharpen their ability to communicate the results of their work.
Gain access to a variety of practical tools and methods.

The underlying focus of the workshop will be on evaluation that is useful, manageable, supports ongoing learning and improvement, and helps make the case for valuable work. The Measuring Impact workshop will be facilitated by Eric Leviten-Reid.
