ARC Webinar on Real Time Evaluation for Learning with Oxfam Novib

The ARC Burundi - Nyubahiriza project is in its final year (2020). It is a challenging year with focused learning, a final evaluation and closure/sustainability considerations intersecting with elections. The prevailing political and security context makes reliable data collection extremely difficult and complicated. Both the baseline and mid-term evaluation acknowledged weak credibility of data, mainly as a result of bias and self-censorship. With this in mind, Oxfam Novib has undertaken a proactive approach to end line MEL by conducting a real time evaluation (RTE) in early 2020. Through this webinar, Oxfam Novib aims to share key lessons on real-time evaluation (RTE) conducted as part of its ARC program in Burundi. The webinar will outline why an RTE is a useful tool while implementing programs in volatile settings and practical steps and tips to take into consideration in the process. The webinar is part of Addressing Root Causes (ARC) learning online series aiming to strengthen relationships among ARC grantees and create connections and linkages across ARC projects and beyond, engage with pertinent issues of learning and explore pathways for collaborative and creative action in learning for a better knowledge uptake in programming and policy.
