SUMMARY:From growing pains to growing gains - Part 3 - Monitoring and evaluation frameworks
DESCRIPTION:Workshop 3 of 6: Monitoring and evaluation frameworks\n\nBuilding on the reflections from Workshops 1 and 2\, this session focuses on translating your evolving Theory of Change into clear\, realistic\, and measurable outcomes through monitoring and evaluation frameworks. Rather than treating monitoring and evaluation frameworks as a rigid donor requirement\, the workshop invites participants to explore these frameworks as practical tools for learning\, accountability\, and strategic decision-making. With insights from our expert in MEAL (Monitoring\, Evaluation\, Accountability & Learning)\, participants will examine how outcomes\, indicators\, assumptions\, and risks can be aligned with organisational capacity and changing contexts—ensuring that MEAL supports growth\, adaptation\, and meaningful impact. \n\n\nAbout the facilitator\nSilvia Guizzardi serves as the Senior Advisor for Impact  at Oak Foundation. With over 20 years of experience in strategic development and monitoring\, evaluation and learning in international cooperation and philanthropy\, she focuses on enhancing programmatic impact narrative and effectiveness.  (Silvia kindly agreed to step in last minute and replace Riswana Soundardjee from GAVI who came down with the flu and had to pull out)\n\n\n\nAbout the workshop series\n\nNavigating growth and transitions so your organisation can thrive through change – In this time of great upheaval and uncertainty in the development and humanitarian sectors\, we are all reflecting on the changes needed within our organisations to meet these challenges. Giving Women invites you to a six-part workshop series designed to help organisations navigate growth and transition\, enabling them to thrive amidst change and theses challenging times.\n\n\n\n\nTicket options & details\n\nMembers: Free\nNot yet a member?

SUMMARY:How can the Social Enterprise model help close the funding gap?
DESCRIPTION:Context\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt a time when funding is increasingly difficult to secure while needs continue to rise\, many organisations are under intense pressure. Migrant populations are at record levels due to conflict and climate crises\, girls’ completion of primary and secondary education is declining\, and access to healthcare remains a struggle. The challenges are overwhelming. \nWhat we will explore\nThursday 19 February\, 12.15pm CET (online) : Join us for an online conversation moderated by Zoya Siddiqui from Acumen\, an organisation that recognised early on the potential of the social enterprise model. Together\, we will explore how this approach can help organisations build more resilient\, financially sustainable models. \nWe will highlight and hear from three grassroots organisations applying this model in the field: Aavishkaar Centre (India)\, Project Maji (Africa)\, and Womengro Initiative (Uganda). We will also be joined by the Elea Foundation for Ethics in Globalisation\, which supports social entrepreneurs through its philanthropic giving\, to share the funder perspective on what helps these models thrive. \nPanelists\nModerator:\nZoya Siddiqui\, Development and Partnerships Manager at Acumen Europe \nExpert perspective:\nLisa Jean-Mairet\, Executive Director\,  Elea Foundation for Ethics in Globalisation \nVoices from the field (highlighted organisations): \n– Prapti Bhasin\, CEO\, Aavishkaar Centre\, India\n– Sunil Lalvani\, Founder\, Project Maji\, Africa\n– Lilian Nakigozi\, Founder\, Womengro Initiative Uganda
