Launch of Glocal Evaluation Week 2026
Following the global launch of Glocal Evaluation Week 2026, which explored this year's theme—Evaluation, Evidence, and Trust in the Age of AI— regional launch events will continue the conversation. Join us in Latin America and the Caribbean on May 27 for "LAC Glocal Launch – Evaluating in the Age of AI: The Time to Prepare Is Now, Together," and in Africa on May 29 for "Africa Glocal Launch – AI and the Future of Evaluation: Concepts, Opportunities and Emerging Debates." We hope to see you there!

What the AI Conversation in M&E Is Missing – And a Three-Lens Framework to Help
Any decision about using artificial intelligence in monitoring and evaluation involves evidence needs, workflow, and capability considerations. In this blog post, Douglas Glandon explains why we need to consider all these dimensions together, not separately, to make meaningful decisions on AI use.
AI did not replace us (yet)—but we need an upgrade
As AI tools become more widely used in communications and evaluation work, questions of judgment, trust, and credibility have come into sharper focus. In this blog post, Patrizia Cocca reflects on what this shift has revealed and what it means for evaluation capacity development ahead of Glocal Evaluation Week 2026.
