SUMMARY:Feminist Principles in Monitoring\, Evaluation\, Accountability\, and Learning
DESCRIPTION:**Register here!**  \n\n\n\n\nThis workshop will guide participants through Oxfam Canada’s Seven Foundations to Feminist Monitoring\, Evaluation\, Accountability and Learning (MEAL). Oxfam’s feminist approach challenges practitioners to think differently about evidence\, push the boundaries on data collection\, and question who gives meaning and power to knowledge. Through these\, challenges\, participants will engage in an iterative process of applying and reflecting the principles of the approach. \nThis workshop will introduce the seven foundations as well as discuss what MEAL can look like at different points along a ‘gender spectrum’ (i.e.: gender aware\, gender responsive and gender transformative). Participants will engage with examples from current and past Oxfam Canada projects to consider the complexity inherent in undertaking feminist MEAL as well as practice planning for potential next steps in these projects. \nParticipants can review project examples ahead of time at Oxfam Canada’s Measuring Change with a Feminist Lens website. \nThis workshop aims to strengthen capacities in line with the following Competencies for Canadian Evaluation Practice: \n\n1.1: Knows evaluation theories\, models\, methods and tools and stays informed about new thinking and best practices.\n1.7: Uses self-awareness and reflective thinking to continually improve practice.\n2.8: Collects\, analyzes and interprets data using appropriate methods.\n3.2: Identifies stakeholders’ needs and their capacity to participate\, while recognizing\, respecting\, and responding to aspects of diversity.\n3.6: Engages in reciprocal processes in which evaluation knowledge and expertise are shared between the evaluator and stakeholders to enhance evaluation capacity for all.\n5.5: Builds partnerships within the evaluation context.\n\nAbout the Facilitator \nAnna Du Vent is the Women’s Rights Knowledge Specialist\, Monitoring\, Evaluation\, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) at Oxfam Canada (OCA)\, leading OCA’s work in applying feminist approaches throughout its MEAL systems. Anna also led the MEAL work for OCA’s flagship six-country ending violence against women and girls project. Anna specializes in qualitative methodologies focused on program learning processes\, including identifying\, documenting and sharing best practices. She has led teams on projects related to youth development\, economic empowerment\, and legal reform in Uganda\, Malawi\, Jamaica\, the Marshall Islands\, Bangladesh\, India\, Indonesia\, Nepal\, Pakistan and the Philippines.

SUMMARY:The Art and Science of Producing Effective Infographics
DESCRIPTION:**Register here!** \nData visualization as a hot topic in the evaluation world\, especially in knowledge transfer activities. The interactive and multi-modal workshop will focus on a specific type of data visualization\, namely infographics – artistic or graphic presentation of data to communicate insights. We will briefly orient infographics in the realm of data visualization\, illustrating the different types of infographics. Then our focus will shift to the science of why we use infographics in communicating to our various audiences (clients and funders). We then venture into design theory\, calling on the works of data visualization experts Bernard Marr\, Stephanie Evergreen\, Garr Reynolds and Edward Tufte. The bulk of the time will be aimed at specific design elements of graphics\, colour\, and font\, which provide the visual cues to our most important element: the data. We will then put these elements together with examples\, and then look at resources and tools for infographic production. The session will conclude with a short question period. \nLearning objectives: \nBy the end of the Workshop\, the participant will be able to: \n\nCompare the different types of infographics and situate them in the greater web of data visualization\nUnderstand the basic tenets of design theory and how the brain process and information\nIdentify and appraise the design elements of effective infographics\nLocate and use various resources and tools for effective infographic production\n\nIn addition\, this workshop aims to strengthen capacities in line with the following Competencies for Canadian Evaluation Practice: \n2.8 Identify data sources \n2.13 Assesses trustworthiness of data \n2.16 Reports evaluation findings and results \n3.5 Serves the information needs of intended users \n4.6 Reports on progress and results \n5.1 Uses written communication skills and technologies \nAbout the Faciliator:  \nA. Sidiq (Sid) Ali\, is an expert in education programs\, focusing on assessment program development\, management and evaluation. He has over 20 years’ experience as an evaluator. Sid combines his skills in psychometrics and evaluation to foster his professional interests in program evaluation capacity-building in the private sector\, program development in licensure and certification contexts\, as well as in effective data analytics and visualization. Since founding his consulting practice (www.rae-consult.com)\, he has worked with profession regulators and governing bodies in accounting and financial management\, healthcare\, law and international sanctions\, as well as with the learning and development units of two of the big five Canadian banks. He began his better data visualization journey in 2008\, focusing on effective presentation strategies for PowerPoint. He now blogs and speaks about data visualization\, and has been an invited guest blogger on Stephanie Evergreen’s effective data visualization blog. He has produced infographics for official CES communications\, has conducted a CES national webinar on infographics and has facilitated workshops on infographics for CES-ON and CES-MB. Sid is a Credentialed Evaluator\, earned his M.Ed. and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in Educational Measurement and Evaluation\, and was a two-term Director for CES-ON.
