The DC Consortium Student Conference on Evaluation and Policy (SCEP) is a collaboration of universities in the District of Columbia, Northern Virginia and Maryland regions, representing the interests of students aspiring to be evaluators and policy makers. This collaboration aims to provide students with a platform to present their research and engage with evaluation experts in the opportunity-rich region of Washington, D.C., thereby serving as a bridge between students, academia and other evaluation and policy agencies/organizations. In this presentation, students from the Organizing Committee discuss lessons learned from DC SCEPs inaugural conference. Features of the conference include a keynote address, interdisciplinary panel, and about 30 student presentations. We will highlight lessons learned concerning how the conference served to broker knowledge towards its theme, Advancing Social Justice in Evaluation and Policy Integration with Consortium graduate students in the region.]]>

GAO has previously found that when agencies use evidencesuch as performance information and program evaluationsin decision making, it leads to improved performance and results. However, GAO continues to find a lack of widespread adoption. Most recently, for the sixth time since 1997, GAO surveyed a random sample of federal managers on a variety of organizational performance and management issues. This session will focus on key survey results, including trends over time, for selected items on the prevalence and use of performance measurement and program evaluations in decision making. Based on these results, GAO made recommendations to OMB to improve the use of evidence in federal agencies.

This panel will explore the many approaches used by universities in the Washington, DC area to train graduate and undergraduate students in the field of evaluation, and the transition strategies to help students and new evaluators establish themselves in the evaluation field. The seven distinguished panelists are all associated with Washington Evaluators, and have served in AEA and/or WE leadership positions. Panelists and our Discussant will be asked to address questions such as: 1. In which disciplines/schools at your university would we expect to find courses in evaluation or related to evaluation? 2. What are the components of the evaluation curricula? Do you offer a degree or major field in evaluation? 3. Do you offer hands-on experiences for your students to design and conduct evaluations? 4. Where have your former students worked in the evaluation field, and what kinds of careers have they had? 5.

Lessons from World Bank Support for Evidence-Based Policy Making, Presented by Nils Junge on Wednesday, June 17, 2015 from 12 - 1:30 pm in the George Washington University Marvin Center (Room 308). Since the late 1990s the World Bank has placed greater and greater emphasis on evidence-based policy making, with a specific focus on how the poor and vulnerable are affected. A commonly used approach is Poverty and Social Impact Analysis (PSIA), typically undertaken before development projects are approved. PSIAs are implemented with the express purpose of informing public sector reforms in order to mitigate negative distributional impacts. To identify winners and losers of a given policy reform, PSIAs may use or combine various kinds of analysis: statistical, econometric cost-benefit, social, stakeholder, political economy, etc. Strongly utilization-focused, the evaluation process is often as important as the analytical work itself. After introducing PSIA methods, the presenter will share practical lessons from 12 years conducting PSIAs and some of the challenges inherent in this exciting area of evaluation. Nils Junge works internationally as an independent evaluator and policy advisor. In addition to advising the World Bank and government counterparts on addressing reform impacts, he has conducted evaluations for over 20 clients in Africa, Eastern Europe and the Middle East/North Africa. Multi-lingual, he has worked in 5 languages. He has an MA from Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).]]>
