Welcome back! This month, we conclude Season 2 by talking with our old friend and colleague, Pau Aragay Marín.

Pau is Director of Impact and Organizational Improvement at Educo. Educo is a global NGO that acts in defense of children, ensuring they are living humanely, particularly in the wake of natural and man-made disasters, and that their rights are protected. He oversees a team that is helping to set the strategy for their global impact and putting the systems in place to collect the data to articulate that impact. We spoke with Pau about the challenges of doing evaluation across geographic boundaries, using local resources for data collection, and how to use that evaluation data to make meaningful improvements to programming. Pau was candid about the challenges he’s up against in doing this work. We think these are challenges that will resonate with folks in the nonprofit sector, even if your work isn’t global. 

Thanks again for joining us. This is our final episode of the season, but maybe we’ll add a bonus episode if y’all play your cards right. We’ve really appreciated all of you who have listened to the episodes and provided us feedback. We hope you’ve been able to learn something along the way!

Sponsors! The unwitting sponsor for our last episode is the NEW YEAR! Thank you, 2020, for bringing excitement, a reminder to set new goals and revisit old ones, and a renewed sense of optimism for what’s in store! We worked all year to pull in 2020 as a sponsor, and we couldn’t be happier to have them on Team Glass Frog. Thanks for your unwitting support, 2020!
