Our latest blog looks back at Self-Evaluation Week, which we launched to mark our 21st birthday this May. Across the week, people celebrated their impact and reflected on how self evaluation has helped them make a difference 👉 evaluationsupportscotland.org.uk/news/celebra...
A graphic showing 4 quotes, they read:

Self-evaluation has helped us move from broad ideas about our impact to clearly defined outcomes, with practical ways to measure them.

Through self-evaluation we were able to identify the outcomes that people experienced by recording feedback then using a methodical approach to assess the feedback, as well as learning where we could improve our work.

Self-evaluation has helped us move beyond simply measuring outputs and instead better understand the difference our programmes are making for people, organisations and communities.

Self-Evaluation Week is a valuable opportunity to recognise that evaluation is not separate from practice – it is fundamental to how we listen, reflect, learn, and continue to improve.

Did you know we offer Shared Learning Programmes? 💡 See our infographic below to learn about the benefits of this way of reporting. & Learn more about Shared Learning Programmes here: evaluationsupportscotland.org.uk/resources/ne...
An infographic. ‘What are the benefits of neutral facilitation?
Our Shared Learning Programme is a way of ‘reporting’ where we facilitate a series of learning events for funded organisations and write reports with thematic analysis, instead of organisations submitting full written reports. So, what’re the benefits of working this way.
Better and more complete learning is generated.

Funded projects confirm important or emerging themes.
They explore further learning, get to know each other and their funders.
They gain confidence from discovering shared challenges.

The learning is easier to share.

This means that the learning that emerges is more complete.
Shared learning reports are designed to be accessible with sections that can be extracted and easily shared.

Life is made easier for the funder.

This way of working involves projects and funders coming together to identify, discuss & capture shared learning.

This removes pressure from funding officers.
