We envision a world where individuals, organizations, and initiatives value ongoing learning and are both willing and able to embed evaluative thinking and practice into their work. We are inspired by Michael Quinn Patton’s vision of “an experimenting global community, one characterized by commitment to reality-testing, respect for different perspectives, and open dialogue about evidence - a world in which ongoing learning is valued and practiced, and knowledge is generated and used.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab3f04b55b02ca288d73bf8/c112b410-fe7f-435e-a1b9-f01e1be3ee6e/cdd20-SWJPQQkuFWA-unsplash.jpg Who We Are - Our Approach At CCG, we approach our partnerships with genuine openness, care, cultural and methodological humility. Our work is guided by and draws inspiration from number of frameworks and models including Utilization-Focused Evaluation (Patton, 2008), Equitable Evaluation Framework (EEF)™, Theory-Driven Evaluation (Weiss, 1997; Rogers & Weiss, 2007, and Collaborative Evaluation Practice (Rodriguez-Campos & Rincones-Gomez, 2012). We are committed to leveraging stakeholders’ existing knowledge and experience to reflect the exact learning and evaluation needs of the program in both the short and long term, with a goal of being used to foster true impact.
