Current Project: Guide to Evaluate Communications Available in Pdf and Hard Copies
Asibey Consulting and the Communications Network have released “Are We There Yet? A Communications Evaluation Guide.”
Continuous Progress: Evaluation Guides for Better Advocacy.
Challenge: the Global Interdependence Initiative (GII), a project of the Aspen Institute, recruited Asibey Consulting to develop an innovative curriculum for nonprofits and grantmakers conducting advocacy around global issues.
Objective: to help nonprofits and foundations assess their advocacy strategy, programs and grants, and to do so by building upon GII’s prior research on evaluation, effective messaging and framing of global issues.
Process: we began by reviewing the Initiative’s previous work and analyzing the most recent literature on the topic. Then we interviewed nonprofit advocates, grantmakers, evaluation specialists and communication experts from the national and international arena. Drawing upon our research, we began designing two guides – one for advocates and one for grantmakers – and made them interconnected.
Result: collaborating closely with GII’s team and Gardner-Madras|Strategic Creative, we brought the guides to life in an online platform. See them for yourself.
