Evaluation Capacity Building
You can do evaluation! We can help.
MWA Insights offers single day and multi-day evaluation capacity building workshops. These practical, engaging, and hands-on workshops provide participants with the skills to design and carry out impactful evaluation projects. Through activities like evaluating chocolate chip cookies and categorizing candy, crafting logic models for personal and professional projects, designing surveys, conducting visitor observations, and analyzing real data, participants gain practical experience in evaluation planning, methods, data collection, and visualization. The multi-day version takes teams of participants through the process of implementing their own pilot evaluation study, concluding with a reporting session where teams present their findings and recommendations.
Workshop topics include:
- Types of evaluation

What participants are saying:
"This workshop demistified evaluation for me.
We just launched a survey at our museum and I wish we had waited until this workshop!
It clarified a lot of things, especially how
evaluation can and should work as part of the lifecycle of a project."
"The balance between the presentation of
concepts and applying what we are learning
was excellent! I found the hands-on format
really beneficial."
