Transformative Evaluation

Transformative Evaluation is a flexible approach to assessing programs or projects that emphasizes understanding their positive impact on social change and equity. Unlike traditional evaluation, which may focus solely on outcomes or efficiency, it actively involves stakeholders—especially marginalized groups—to ensure their perspectives shape the evaluation process. This approach aims to go beyond measuring success to also fostering social justice, empowerment, and systemic improvement, making sure evaluations are meaningful, inclusive, and contribute to creating fairer communities.
