Ethics in Evaluation
We human beings constantly face values choices: better and
worse, right and wrong. Thinking about ethics helps us sharpen our
analysis and solidify our principles for coping with our more
difficult moral dilemmas. In evaluation practice, those dilemmas
can arise before a project commences (Is this evaluation worth
doing?), through the planning and investigation stages (Can this
methodology and these resources produce reliable findings?), to
reporting and beyond (Does the report ‘speak truth to power’). The
biggest challenges evaluators face are often ethical in nature. They
may arise because the expectations or commitments of clients and
other parties conflict with those of the evaluator.
The workshop is intended to:
 Increase participants’ awareness of ethics in evaluation
 Increase participants’ grasp of ethical principles
 Enhance their ability to carry out an approach to resolving
ethical issue
 Encourage discussion of professional standards and codes of
ethical conduct in evaluation and research;
 Discuss principles of ethical discernment offered by
philosophy and used in applied organizational ethics
 Share the results of a 2011 CES survey on this topic
 Share a practical eight-step process for ethical decisionmaking that starts with identifying a challenge and ends
with action.
The workshop facilitator, Robert Czerny is an experienced
evaluator with the C.E. designation, and serves as President of the
Ethics Practitioners’ Association of Canada.
