Youth in Evaluation champions 2024
The first Youth in Evaluation champion awards were announced on 8 July 2024, during the global launch of 2024 Youth in Evaluation week, grounded in the Youth in Evaluation standards.
The initial round of self-assessments in 2024 against the standards drew submissions from 45 organizations spanning academia, VOPEs, youth organizations, international organizations, and the private sector. In addition, 17 UN agencies were assessed based on data collected during the ‘Mapping of engagement of young and emerging evaluators (YEEs) in UN agencies’, an initiative led by the UNEG working group on YEEs. These assessments were validated by the respective UN offices.
Building on this recognition, Youth in Evaluation champions offered in-depth perspectives on their initiatives through a series of blogs starting in October 2024. Read the blogs
Furthermore, in November 2024, the first cohort of Youth in Evaluation champions convened for an X Space discussion. They shared innovative practices and valuable lessons learned in their efforts to advance meaningful youth engagement in evaluation. Learn more
