Webinar // Evaluation and Impact Investing: Part 2

Presented in partnership with the American Evaluation Association’s Social Impact Measurement working group, the Johnson Center for Philanthropy, the Council of Michigan Foundations, and the Mission Investors Exchange

This second installment of the “Evaluation and Impact Investing” webinar series focuses on the role evaluators can play in monitoring and evaluating active investments, particularly from a gender lens.

Using its active gender-lens investments as examples, including an ongoing collaboration with MasterCard Foundation, representatives from Engineers Without Borders Canada and EWB Ventures discuss how they utilize evaluation to support investees and the investment team after an investment has been made. Viewers will learn how to effectively use evaluation from a gender-equity lens to monitor and assess the social returns of active investments, and communicate those findings to the investment team and the investee.

Likewise, investors will learn ways to better apply evaluative thinking and evaluation from a gender-equity lens in their active investments.
