The relevance of these ideas to measuring progress on the SDGs and the challenges of incorporating multidimensional contexts in measuring improvement over time were explored. We also anticipated learning opportunities in this workshop to understand what works through comparisons of outcome trajectories across different contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Questions addressed in this workshop included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em>How do we promote an understanding of historical context and multiple disadvantages in an understanding of change processes, both at the national and community levels?<\/em><\/li><li><em>What incentives need to be in place to make a difference on the difficult-to-move problems?<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The exciting slate of speakers included:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldbank.org\/en\/about\/people\/m\/michael-woolcock\"><strong>Michael Woolcock<\/strong><\/a><strong>, <\/strong>Lead Social Scientist, World Bank and Harvard University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sandra Albert<\/strong>, Director, <a href=\"https:\/\/phfi.org\/iiph-shillong\/\">Indian Institute of Public Health in Shillong<\/a>, India<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/selkie.ie\/about\/\"><strong>Boru Douthwaite<\/strong><\/a><strong>,<\/strong> Independent Evaluator and Founder, Selkie Consulting in Ireland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shubham Gupta, <\/strong>Research Manager at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sambodhi.co.in\/\">Sambodhi<\/a>, India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" id=\"presentations\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PRESENTATIONS<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"ead-preview\"><div class=\"ead-document\" style=\"position: relative;padding-top: 90%\"><iframe src=\"\/\/view.officeapps.live.com\/op\/embed.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Ftorontoevaluation.ca%2FSDG%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F05%2FShubham_Context-Matter-Sambodhi_11032021.pptx\" title=\"Embedded Document\" class=\"ead-iframe\" style=\"width: 100%;height: 100%;border: none;position: absolute;left: 0;top: 0;\"><\/iframe><\/div><p class=\"embed_download\"><a href=\"https:\/\/torontoevaluation.ca\/SDG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Shubham_Context-Matter-Sambodhi_11032021.pptx\" download>Download Shubham Gupta&#039;s slides [1.22 MB] <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ead-preview\"><div class=\"ead-document\" style=\"position: relative;padding-top: 90%\"><iframe src=\"\/\/view.officeapps.live.com\/op\/embed.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Ftorontoevaluation.ca%2FSDG%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F05%2FSandra_Webinar11.03.2021_reContext_SAlbert_ver1.pptx\" title=\"Embedded Document\" class=\"ead-iframe\" style=\"width: 100%;height: 100%;border: none;position: absolute;left: 0;top: 0;\"><\/iframe><\/div><p class=\"embed_download\"><a href=\"https:\/\/torontoevaluation.ca\/SDG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Sandra_Webinar11.03.2021_reContext_SAlbert_ver1.pptx\" download>Download Sandra Albert&#039;s slides [1.70 MB] <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ead-preview\"><div class=\"ead-document\" style=\"position: relative;padding-top: 90%\"><iframe src=\"\/\/view.officeapps.live.com\/op\/embed.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Ftorontoevaluation.ca%2FSDG%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2021%2F05%2FBoru-Douthwaite_Case-for-outcome-trajectory-evaluation-small.pptx\" title=\"Embedded Document\" class=\"ead-iframe\" style=\"width: 100%;height: 100%;border: none;position: absolute;left: 0;top: 0;\"><\/iframe><\/div><p class=\"embed_download\"><a href=\"https:\/\/torontoevaluation.ca\/SDG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Boru-Douthwaite_Case-for-outcome-trajectory-evaluation-small.pptx\" download>Download Boru Douthwaite&#039;s slides [659.73 KB] <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" id=\"blog\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"blog\">COMMENTS &amp;
