Programme

Presentation by Ryan Bellinson, Senior Research Fellow in Cities, Climate and Innovation at University College London and Principal at Collaboraction Insights.

The presentation will introduce M&E concepts that city decision-makers should consider when developing programmatic evaluation approaches. It will focus on how M&E can prioritise ‘learning’ or ‘accountability’ and why this distinction is important to understand when constructing evaluation approaches for Sustainability Governance.

Reflections by Robyn Smith, coordinator for Greater Manchester mission-based approach, highlighting how concepts of the presentation relate to ongoing work in Greater Manchester.

Reflections by Ville Taajamaa, 2030 Agenda manager and Lead Coordinator for the Cities for Sustainability Governance URBACT network, about Espoo's approach to Voluntary Local Reviews.

Through facilitated group discussions, participants will further discuss the concept and approaches presented. Details to follow closer to the event.
