MEASURE IMPACT
Developmental Evaluation
Location: National (U.S.)
Duration: 2021
Working in innovative and complex settings to provide real-time data and learning
IN ACTION: In 2021, we partnered with the Rockefeller Foundation, Meridian Institute, Thought for Food, and SecondMuse to conduct a developmental evaluation of the Food Systems Game Changers Lab. The Lab was an accelerator program consisting of 24 cohorts of 400+ game changers (organizations + individuals) from 85 countries.
These 24 cohorts produced collective solutions to tackle key food systems challenges ranging from elevating indigenous food systems, innovating protein, and scaling agroforestry to mainstreaming true cost accounting, upskilling farmers, and developing food system leaders.
By the end of the project, we provided:
Ongoing review and synthesis of cohort action agendas
Mid-term evaluation of accelerator program
Final evaluation of accelerator program
Final Compendium of cohort action agendas - launched at the UN Food Systems Summit.
