OPEN will be hosting a webinar titled "Step-by-step introduction to Contribution Tracing" by Diego Catalán Molina, PhD.
In this session, you'll learn the steps to apply Contribution Tracing to your evaluation work. CT is a case-study approach that results in (1) a clear trace of evidence that supports a contribution claim and (2) a set of numbers that quantify your level of confidence ("We are 78% confident in our contribution claim based on the evidence"). When interventions are complex and data are messy, CT helps you deliver a clear story about the causal chain of events that led to an outcome. During the session, we'll review the main pillars of CT and get hands-on experience with each practical step.
