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.

More about our presenter:

Dr. Diego Catalan Molina has been working in evaluation for over 15 years. He started in education and spent the last few years as Director of Research at Hello Insight, helping youth-serving organizations evaluate their impacts on young people's skills for thriving.

*This session will be recorded. The recording and resources from the session will be shared after the event to everyone who registered.
