Rigorous non-experimental evaluation for funders | Workshop with Patricia Rogers – Sydney

Join the Learning and Evaluation for Australian Funders (LEAF) network for an exclusive one-day roundtable with Professor Patricia Rogers, one of the most respected and sought-after global leaders in evaluation.

Professor Rogers brings a particular focus on ensuring that monitoring and evaluation systems are useful in improving delivery and informing decisions, which is essential perspective to have in today’s philanthropic landscape, when it is critical to understand the impact of the programs and projects that grants fund.  

Through hands-on exercises and real-world case studies, you will explore how to apply approaches that rigorously assess outcomes and impact without relying on a control or comparison group, known as non-experimental evaluation. Methods such as process tracing, qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), and using comparative case studies to assess impact. 

This workshop will equip you with a clear understanding of how these approaches work, how to incorporate them effectively into your funding strategies and how to engage with and manage experts conducting these evaluations. 

Join us to gain insights that could transform your decision-making, enhance the effectiveness of your investments, and ensure your work is grounded in rigorous, actionable evidence. 

Audience: This event is for intermediate/expert Measurement, Evaluation & Learning (MEL) practitioners who work for funding/grantmaking organisations.
