[sarina at riseup.net]

There has been dozens, if not, hundreds of evaluations completed in
Timor-Leste over the past decade - perhaps one is eligible to enter the
following?

....................................

Announcing an International Call for Evaluations that Make a Difference:
Stories
from around the world

Deadline: April 15, 2014
Evaluations that Make a Difference: Stories from around the world (
http://www.evaluationstories.wordpress.com/about ) is a recipient of an
EvalPartners Innovation Challenge Award. The project's purpose is to
demonstrate to
evaluation users (e.g. governments and international
organizations, NGOs and advocates) how evaluation can truly be a force for
positive
change. It will also help evaluators gain insight into evaluation
approaches that can influence use and impact.
Have you participated in an evaluation that influenced people's lives and
/ or led
to social betterment?
Send in a Story Submission Form (
http://www.evaluationstories.wordpress.com/call-for-stories ) by April 15,
2014 for
a chance to have your evaluation
profiled in an international collection of stories about evaluations that
make a
difference. These stories will be published in 2015 as part of the
International Year of Evaluation.
In May 2014, one to three stories will be selected from each of six
regions: Latin
America and Caribbean, Europe, Africa, North America, Asia and
Australasia. During the Story Development Phase (June – October 2014) the
winning
stories will be further developed, using engaging story
development techniques. The final stories will be shared through an online
platform
during EvalYear 2015.
