@ToCcrea is back, this time from sunny #Rabat #Morocco! During the last 2 years @CherifRatiba was busy leading a team of 13 talented M&E and Communication staff at @fhi360's @Ma3anTunisia youth empowerment program.

Long overdue discussion on OECD-DAC #evaluation criteria. But are the criteria the problem? Need time and incentives for intentional reflection on WHY eval needed, what questions need answering and how to use findings. Unless it's just an accountability thing #utilizationfocused https://t.co/lnsWrt26YF

[BetterEvaluation @BetterEval]

Should we keep or change the OECD-DAC #evaluation criteria of relevance, #effectiveness, #efficiency, impact and sustainability? Join in this important consultation with @WorldBank_IEG @OECD_EVALNET and @UN_Evaluation - open till 31 October https://t.co/gXc4jDBdrX #eval

Great #Infographic by @VisualBrains that highlights how intentional reflection on underlying assumptions and mechanisms strengthens #theoryofchange for sound implementation. https://t.co/Wd2T6fwW5r

#Mondayreflection Fascinating read on #adaptdev from @fp2p. Leitmotiv "allocate MEL responsibility to implementation teams"! Exactly why @ToCcrea developed #ReThinkToC to make those doing the work think like evaluators ==> https://t.co/hnqXqxqh9w

#Dialogue:“The #capacity of members of a team to suspend #assumptions and enter into a genuine thinking together” @petersenge #ReThinkToC & #InSightToC help pool knowledge + expertise to produce results beyond the sum of the individual parts! https://t.co/O3r59yO0s3

[The ToC Creative @ToCcrea]

Fascinating read from @SSIReview on #impact #evaluation, #data, #quality and #timing. Not only do they offer the top 10 reasons not to measure impact, they also provide alternatives! Hear hear... to pragmatic ways of finding what works and what doesn't in #socialchange https://t.co/QGWDBevV1g

#Impact evaluations are an important tool for learning about effective solutions to social problems. But the investment doesn't always make sense. @MaryKayGugerty & @deankarlan offer 10 reasons NOT to measure impact and what to do instead: https://t.co/8fpWYX9h2z

Heard yesterday. “Every #indicator has its own M&E system”. True. So be intentional. Test it: What will it tell you? Why is it that important? #valueformoney #MandE focus resources on #results that matter.

[The ToC Creative @ToCcrea]

Wonderful day with @WorldBank #governance global practice unpacking #theoryofchange. Always amazed at the variables at play in #socialchange. Criticality of #boundaries #perspectives and #patterns is paramount #systemsthinking with #ReThinkToC

[The ToC Creative @ToCcrea]

Explaining #ReThinkToC at @WorldBank #RMESTogether2018. Someone said "is this tarot reading?" 😀... kind of. But you do the reading! You have knowledge of the context and sector. #ReThinkToC only trigger ideas and help make connections. #reflectivepractice #innovation #adaptdev

[The ToC Creative @ToCcrea]

Excellent point by @USAIDlearning 's Stacey Young. Orgs need to give right incentives for intentional reflection and candid learning to happen. Give time and space but also a culture that embraces the fact that sometimes things don't work as planned. #AdaptDev https://t.co/CFud3SMTKo

The Power of #storytelling to engage all stakeholders. Applies to internal stakeholders too! A simple 4 step guide from @UFJSchool #socialchange #systemsthinking https://t.co/dL3NUPwoM7

How can we tell catalyzing stories about complex social problems? @annieneimand of @UFJSchool provides a 4 step framework based on #storyscience: https://t.co/T7XPKS8MnM

@ToCcrea underlying metaphor. #organizationalchange happens by making small changes at strategy and planning phase to have large effects on the quality of intervention outcomes. #valueformoney #intentionality #impact https://t.co/XiiG1qDkIK
