gLOCAL Evaluation Week 2023
As part of the gLOCAL Evaluation week 2023, GBL is organizing a masterclass and a seminar on 30th and 31st May, 2023.
Partnering for Impact: Bringing together Research, M&E, and Businesses
Date & Time: May 30 | 6:00 pm IST
Businesses have a unique transformative potential for social impact. Yet they have traditionally been outside of the M&E ecosystem. Good Business Lab has successfully built strategic and collaborative partnerships with business and corporate firms to realize this potential. In this masterclass, we plan to share our learnings from forging these partnerships with non-traditional M&E players. We will explore our innovative and context-specific approach to building a business case for worker wellbeing across different industries and geographies.
Speakers:
- Varun Jagannath, Associate Director - Field, Good Business Lab
- Simranjeet Dhir, Research Manager, Good Business Lab
- Rochak Jain, Senior Partnerships Associate, Good Business Lab
Moderator:
- Pallavi Yadav, Senior Marketing Associate, Good Business Lab
Case For Context: Building Culturally Sensitive Economic Evidence In Labor-Intensive Settings
Date & Time: May 31 | 7:30 pm IST
Economic research is infamous for being context agnostic & its impacts thought to be universal. Even the shift away from this tradition is mired by the binary of developed vs developing, with the widely diverse and varied developing countries lumped into one category. We will bring together researchers working on M&E projects in 2 developing countries- India & Colombia, and 2 different labor-intensive industries to discuss how projects with similar aims can & should differ in their methodology to account for cultural context. Our session will aim to facilitate a conversation around collaboration and building distinctive M&E practices across geographies and cultures.
Speakers:
- Smit Gade, Associate Director - Research, Good Business Lab
- Andrea García, Research Manager, Good Business Lab Latin America
Moderator:
- Rashi Seth, Senior Partnerships Associate, Good Business Lab
