The 3nd Event of the Vienna Evaluation Network will take place on May 9, 2018 at 3-4.30pm

TOPIC: Evaluating Advocacy and Communication: Challenges and Solutions

Increasingly organisations are using advocacy and communications to bring about change in a wide variety of areas, from health to development to the environment. However, advocacy and communications face specific challenges in being able to evaluate their contribution to any progress seen.  Glenn O’Neil will present an overview of the challenges faced and the possible solutions that exist to evaluate advocacy and communications projects, programmes and campaigns.

Glenn O’Neil will be the guest speaker.

Glenn is founder of evaluation consultancy Owl RE, based in Geneva, Switzerland and has a broad range of experience covering some 100 evaluations, research and communication projects for international organisations and NGOs, in over 50 countries. His specialisation is in emergency response, communications, advocacy and media for the humanitarian and development sectors. Glenn holds a PhD in evaluation methodology from the London School of Economics and a Master’s in communication management from the University of Lugano, Switzerland.

The presentation will last about 30 minutes. Thereafter the participants will have about 45 minutes to ask questions, discuss the topic, and exchange experiences. For anyone interested we can continue our conversation informally.

WHEN: 9 May 2018, 3-4.30pm

WHERE: The venue is Berggasse 17/3, the third-floor conference room of the European Centre for Welfare Policy and Research. You cross the court and find the entrance right in front of you.
