About JLI

An international collaboration on evidence for faith actors’ activities, contributions, and challenges to achieving humanitarian and development goals. Founded in 2012, JLI came together with a single shared conviction: there is an urgent need to build our collective understanding, through evidence, of faith actors in humanitarianism and development.

On July 12, 2023, JLI MEAL Hub members had the opportunity to learn about Culturally Responsive Evaluation (CRE) with guest speaker Dr. Wanda Casillas. CRE provides a way of understanding how culture influences us as diverse MEAL practitioners and program stakeholders, and adjusting responsively in ways that support social justice. Dr. Casillas is an Associate Research Professor at Claremont Graduate University, an instructor at The Evaluators’ Institute, and an independent evaluator with extensive experience in designing and implementing CRE, particularly in education and healthcare settings in the USA.

 

Join the Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning Hub. Every other month, the group will host a learning exchange on MEAL and local faith actors. Learn more about the Hub here.
