Evaluation Networking in Romania

---

In the context of a growing evaluation community in Romania, networking in evaluation tends to be not only a topic for analysis and research, but mainly a practical tool for reaching the generic community of evaluation practitioners. Furthermore, this is a process requiring resources (time, dedicated people, information and funding) which are scarce. Therefore the better documented the process is, the higher the chances of achieving results. The process of networking in evaluation is of course influenced by the context in which it is taking place, mainly characterized by confusion around what evaluation really is and how it works and by confusion around what would be the roles and the benefits of networking in evaluation. In spite of these challenges there are some opportunities to justify this analysis, and probably the most relevant one is the interest of the members and stakeholders who realize the potential for the ‘soft’ but highly relevant contribution of networking to professional development in evaluation. In this context, the central authorities in Romania wanted to better understand networking in evaluation in order to identify how this process might be stimulated in the future, and the how Romanian Evaluation Association — EvalRom — came about.
