ICT4EVAL is the first book of its kind focussing on using information and communication technologies for evaluation (ICT4Eval). Join us for a panel where a few of the authors will discuss some of the overarching areas of emphasis of the book, including the role of technology in providing data for SDGs, big data, machine learning and more. The panel will also delve into the softer aspects of ICT4Eval such as ethical and privacy concerns pertaining to bias and inclusion when using technology for evaluation. The book is a publication by practitioners, for practitioners and so will be the panel. Come and see what ICT4Eval looks like in practice!
