Evaluation

We build evaluation into all aspects of our work. It isn't enough to simply think we are having an impact, we need to know it.

Our Evaluation International Advisory Committee advises OBI on developments in the field of evaluation research, initiatives that may contribute to the goals of OBI, and where fruitful collaborations can be developed.
