IPDET and EPDET to merge delivery of evaluation training programs
Dear Colleagues,
As you may have heard, this year's EPDET program has been merged into IPDET 2.0, following an agreement between the World Bank, EPDET (European Program for Development Evaluation Training), the Center for Evaluation (CEval) and the University of Bern.
This decision by EPDET and IPDET to merge their respective programs under one umbrella - IPDET 2.0 - will support greater alignment for meeting the needs of the international evaluation community, allow for more streamlined and updated educations offerings, and for tailoring evaluation training to the needs of the different regions.
We are delighted that the leadership of EPDET Daniel Svoboda and Dyma Svec will be involved in the delivery of the IPDET 2.0 program: www.ipdet.org
Individuals who had signed up for the EPDET program in Prague can re-register for the IPDET program: www.ipdet.org
We are looking forward welcoming EPDET colleagues to IPDET 2.0 in Bern this summer!
Sincerely yours,
IPDET Team, EPDET Team, IEG
