The American Evaluation Association (AEA) Evaluation24 Conference

Abt Global is a proud sponsor of the American Evaluation Association’s (AEA) Evaluation24 Conference .  This year’s theme, Amplifying and Empowering Voices in Evaluation, provides our experts with an opportunity to share Abt’s latest research, monitoring, and evaluation methods and findings. From state-of-the-art impact evaluations to varied approaches to research analysis, we raise the bar as we strive to improve public policies worldwide. 

“Our mission is at the heart of all our evaluations: To improve the quality of life and economic well-being of people worldwide. Over the past 60 years, we have pursued this mission through cutting edge evaluation and technical assistance in the areas of education, health, employment and housing, and international development. This is why I am so excited to meet you at this year’s AEA conference to discuss how we always put people first in our evaluations.” - Sebastian Lemire, Abt Global Senior Associate; AEA Board of Directors
