What is the Empowerment Evaluation course about?
Empowerment evaluation transforms how change is measured and owned, but its success depends on more than methodology. Scaling it requires navigating organizational inertia, aligning diverse stakeholders, justifying qualitative rigor to quantitative cultures, and embedding feedback loops that last beyond projects. Without a structured way to present, adapt, and sustain the framework, even proven approaches remain underutilized or misapplied.
