In this episode, we are joined by Kamala Chandrakirana, a distinguished human rights activist with extensive experience in gender equality and social justice. Kamala Chandrakirana discussed the inadequacies and biases prevalent in traditional monitoring and evaluation (M&E) practices, often led by so-called experts who lack contextual understanding. These evaluations typically reflect the prejudices and perceptions of the evaluators, failing to provide genuine insights or foster meaningful impact. The civil society organizations, dependent on these evaluations for grants, often respond in ways they believe are expected, further diminishing the process's authenticity and productivity. In response, Kamala introduced a paradigm that focuses on understanding impact through a process of collective learning grounded in the experiences of partners on the ground.
