The strategic allocation of evaluation resources in a resource-constrained environment is a common challenge shared by governments, non-government organisations, and the private sector. In 2015-2016 International Women’s Development Agency (IWDA) embarked on an organisational journey to generate additional evaluation “capital” by producing meta-evaluations. This article explores how the processes of evaluation and meta-evaluation contribute to organizational governance in terms of establishing an evidence-based policy environment, an informed learning platform, and programming informed by evaluation “capital.”
