Evaluation
Together we can capture and share the impact of your work.
Rigour and evidence-based decision making is central to our work and we bring a reflective and curious mindset to each project we undertake. We have designed evaluation tools and frameworks for projects at a local, provincial and national scale. This includes conducting multi-year developmental evaluations for Social Innovation Labs and summative and formative evaluation of programs, initiatives and events.
We use a multi-level approach to help you:
-
Zoom out to understand broader systems and capture your work’s impact
-
Zoom in to understand what’s working, what’s not, and how we can learn and adapt
-
Zoom forward to accelerate your work and move through your theory of change.

Roots & Rivers provided us with a stellar education in Impact Measurement and gave us the tools to transform our evaluation activities into a means to achieve the goals of our Strategic Plan. They were thoughtful, professional and they helped us transform our organization’s understanding of, and strategy for, impact measurement. I have no doubt that the valuable coaching Roots & Rivers provided will benefit VTN for years to come.
