At our annual OCI Evaluation Team retreat, this year in Lyon, we leveraged our in-person time together to think creatively and innovatively about how to tackle complex evaluation questions, including measuring resident impact in the short term and evaluating progress in evolving fields like Government Innovation and socially responsible investing.
