First introduced by Fetterman, empowerment evaluation is an approach designed to place evaluation in the hands of community and staff members. During this talk, he will highlight two contemporary empowerment evaluation examples presented in his forthcoming book, “Empowerment Evaluation and Social Justice: Confronting the Culture of Silence.”

His work has taken him to more than 17 countries, with settings ranging from South African townships and Native American reservations to Google and Hewlett-Packard in Silicon Valley. Currently, he is facilitating a USAID-sponsored empowerment evaluation in India focusing on eliminating tuberculosis.
