A4/1 As inequalities & unemployment rise due to #COVID19, youth are critical in shaping a more just society, especially by generating evidence for change. Youth participation improves eval quality & makes programmes more responsive to young people’s needs. #Eval4Action

@EcaEval @unfpa_eval @Eval_Youth @msegone @EvalPartners @basme2 @alena_lappo @antonina_rp A2. A credible and reliable evaluation can accelerate the SDG progress by deeply looking at how and under what context SDG intervention results are benefiting the most vulnerable, marginalized and left out considering environment, peace and health and safety.

A3/3 We must change from ad-hoc & reactive decisions to evidence-led. This takes courage. We must strengthen capacities to generate information from credible evals. This takes wisdom. We must create a culture of evaluative knowledge. This takes commitment. #Eval4Action

A1 Evaluation is responsive. When we experience a crisis like COVID-19 or health, social & economic challenges due to #climatechange, #eval provides conceptual frameworks & data that help us navigate difficult decisions, resource allocation & evolving social norms. #Eval4Action

@Broadleafc #Eval4Action A1. Evaluation provides credible and reliable evidence-based information including lessons learned, in a holistic manner of an intervention under a dynamic context. The information can serve as an accelerator to make sound decision to achieve SDG targets and goals .
