Challenges in getting NGOs to conduct quality evaluations PPT

After completing the readings for the week, create a 10-minute PowerPoint presentation using VoiceThread citing at least 2-3 references in APA style.

There are many inherent challenges in getting NGOs to conduct quality evaluations and using these learnings to continuously improve activities. How can NGOs combine the need for effective evaluation to judge their own performance with the demands from outside stakeholders for information?

Structure of the PowerPoint Presentation:
– Introduction
– Overview of why evaluation is important for international NGOs
– Assessment of why NGO evaluations lack effectiveness
– Analyze how NGOs can balance the need for effective evaluation with outside demands
– Conclusion summarizing the main points of your presentation.
– References.
