March 2021 Newsletter

Last week, we passed the one-year mark of COVID-19 being declared by WHO as a global pandemic. Blue Marble Evaluation calls us to zoom in on the local impact of this milestone and zoom out to see the global trends and impact. We see that there are disparities both within and between countries in how the COVID-19 vaccine is being distributed, just as there have been disparities in both infections and deaths. Join us this month as we explore our role as Blue Marble Evaluators navigating the pandemic.

What can we, the Blue Marble Evaluation community, learn from this poem? We invite you to share your thoughts and perspectives here.

Evaluators

I had the pleasure of facilitating a "Solutions Salon" at the Minnesota International NGO Summit in Minneapolis last week. This was a space for evaluators to share their challenges and to workshop and crowd-source possible solutions. We explored challenges with regards to use, measurement, methods, technology and culure in the context of International development.
