Fwd: Presenting Evaluating Sustainability again

[Florence Etta]

Dear Friends and colleagues,

Join Jindra čekan/ová for an interactive #webinar "Sustained #Exit? Prove it or Improve it!"  

Date/Time:  December 1^st 12:00-14:30 EAT, 10:00-12:30 WAT, 11-13:30 SAST, 09:00 – 11:30 GMT/UTC

Jindra has very graciously accepted to offer this Webinar again for the third time in as many months. This is an expanded, interactive version of the webinar presented at the Vienna Evaluation Network on 1 October 2020 where one participant stated: "Superb talk, really! I found it one of the more interesting and important talks I heard recently, and I hear many. This is great work."

In her own words, ‘Having spent the first 15 years of my career working on 'resilient food security', the next 10 doing M&E and now 7 years doing and learning about ex-post evaluations and sustained impacts, the Gates' Foundation's recent finding was shocking: that "COVID erased 25 years of development in 25 weeks." The SDGs aim to achieve the Sustainable development goals. My webinar asks, how "Sustainable" is our global development if resilience to this shock was so low among our aid partners and participants? We need to Exit FOR Sustainability." 

We will draw on existing project/ program exit research and ex-post sustainability, adaption/ resilience lessons in online groups. Think of 1 project you'd like to improve to foster locally sustainable exit and we will use checklists to Fund, Design, Implement, Monitor, and Evaluate for Sustainable Development that includes Resources, Capacities, Partnerships, Benchmarking, Adaptation, and much more

"This beautiful, bounteous, life-giving planet we call Earth has given birth to each one of us, and each one of us carries the Earth within every cell of our body.... 

We need to change our way of thinking and seeing things. We need to realize that the Earth is not just our environment. The Earth is not something outside of us. Breathing with mindfulness and contemplating your body, you realize that you are the Earth. "
