Course Title: Equity and Social Justice Assessment and Evaluation

Instructor: Khalil Bitar



Increasingly, implementers have to speak to the ways in which their interventions are addressing equity and social justice issues, requiring both an assessment of past and present practices, processes, and results and a vision for how to do more in the future.



Given their role, expected contribution, and training, evaluators are well positioned to gather the evidence on how implementers are addressing these issues and to share results. However, evaluators often lack the tools to systematically assess and evaluate equity and social justice in diverse contexts and at different phases of the intervention (and evaluation).

This course will provide practical tips and tools that evaluators need to do this essential work! Participants will:

Develop an understanding of the complex but essential topic of equity and social justice considerations in the evaluation field

Gain concrete tools to tackle these issues more systematically and successfully in their practice



This course is ideal for people working at the intersection of evaluation and social justice and for implementers who wish to understand what equity and social justice assessment entails.



Classes will take place online Zoom. Certificates of completion will be provided at the end of the course to all participants who have successfully completed the modules. Read more about each of the modules and register for this 2-module offering, taking place on January 16 and 18 from 8 a.m. – 11 a.m. EDT at: https://encompassworld.com/elc/upcoming/equity-and-social-justice-assessment-and-evaluation/

Five Tips for Productive Meetings



Productive and engaging meetings need a clear objective, an open dialog, and a strong leader as well. This will assure that each meeting runs effectively and smoothly.

Define goals in advance
Make a structure for the meeting. State your purpose for the meeting and what you hope to achieve at the outset. Just stating the ideal results often motivates the participants and makes a meeting more fruitful. At the very least, it underlines a feature that every meeting requires: a goal. Even before the meeting begins, make sure that everybody understands the goals and objectives by writing a plan.

Get productive input from attendees
A meeting is designed for open communication, so it is critical to get honest input to those attending. It's the responsibility of the meeting leader to make sure everyone is heard. To encourage open discussion, avoid wearing your opinion on your sleeve—it is quite easy for a leader to stifle a discussion if everyone assumes that the outcome is already determined.
Make sure that key ideas and decisions are written down. Do this visually, so that everyone can see the developments as they occur. The leader of the meeting or someone else should be designated to do this. Why is this important? Because everyone in the room (or online) can see what's being logged. It limits miscommunication and misunderstanding and promotes accountability.

Make every meeting matter
Decide if a meeting is required and invite only people which are necessary. Huge amounts of valuable time are wasted just because managers think that face-time is vital or because they've become comfortable with a particular routine. E-mails are usually enough to give your team a status report or an update. But if you require instant feedback from all the participants, then e-mail will not be as effective as a face-to-face meeting.

Value everyone's time
The most common complaint about meetings is that too much time is wasted. Research shows that most meetings are scheduled to last between 30 to 60 minutes. Why? Because those are the default meeting times allotted by the Microsoft Outlook calendar! Worse yet, most meetings go over their scheduled time. This can and must be avoided. Value everyone's time. Schedule meetings for only the amount of time absolutely necessary to accomplish the goal. Start and finish on time... and keep the meetings moving in between. Don't allow extraneous discussion to run a meeting off the rails. If something comes up that is important enough to discuss, then either cover it in the time allotted or schedule it for another time.

Close with an action plan
End the meeting by re-stating the intended purpose and goal of this meeting and how it was accomplished. Review any action items and make sure they are delegated. Send a follow-up email to every attendee.
