Webinar Slides - “Community-Based Evaluation and Grant Reporting” - held September 16th, 2024
The final session in the fall series discussed Community-Based Evaluation (CBE) and making grant reporting more localized and asset-based. The recording and slides include an introduction to CBE and an overview of the report, “Using Community-Based Evaluation to Assess Local Progress on the UN SDGs.” This report is meant to serve as both an argument for CBE, small data, and qualitative measurements, as well as a recommendation to RCE members for how to go about CBE and connect local work to large-scale frameworks. The webinar included small breakout groups and a discussion with panelists Grace Kim and Alicia Scott.
