Power Imbalance in Traditional Evaluation As grantmakers, we tend to monitor and evaluate our strategies and programs using metrics that we deem important. On its face, evaluation seems like a neutral activity, designed to help us understand what’s happened, and to change course where needed. Who decides what is measured?
