From May 27–30, a delegation from Sambodhi participated in the Evaluation Conclave & Summit for the Future of Evaluation in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The event brought together voices from 32 countries, underscoring the importance of integrating diverse perspectives and elevating local experiential knowledge to build a contextually relevant, forward-looking evaluation ecosystem.
From panel discussions to paper presentations, our team actively contributed to conversations about making evaluation practices not only methodologically sound but also deeply rooted in local realities.
What made this experience especially meaningful was the recognition we received: Sambodhi was named the Youth in Evaluation Champion 2025 for the second year in a row.
At Sambodhi, helping policymakers build a robust evaluation ecosystem and equipping young professionals with the skills and tools to drive meaningful change is central to our mission of fostering an informed, evidence-driven society. This recognition reaffirms our commitment, and we are determined to keep pushing this momentum forward.
