EvalYouth India was established in November 2020 by EvalYouth Asia through its Country Chapters Project, funded by the EvalYouth Global Network. EvalYouth India serves as the Young and Emerging Evaluators (YEE) body of Evaluation Community of India (ECOI, the national VOPE). EvalYouth India aims to promote YEEs (women and men) to become competent, experienced and well-networked professionals who contribute to evaluation capacity at national, regional and international levels. It plans to promote Young and Emerging Evaluators (YEEs), build their capacities, and expose them through networks to other evaluators to promote peer learning.

ECOI functions as a professional community for promoting an evaluation culture in the country and foster policy making and program planning, driven by evidence based decision making with focus on social equity, gender equality and sustainability. It provides a platform for interactions and knowledge and experience sharing within evaluation community and other stakeholders in development to ensure that professionalism, quality and ethics permeate all evaluations and to make them utility oriented.

EvalYouth Asia (EYA) is a regional chapter of the EvalYouth Global Network and was launched in December 2019. EYA aims to create a strong network of Young and Emerging Evaluators (YEEs) from the Asia-Pacific region and to engage with them and launch initiatives to support networking, capacity building, and YEEs representation in regional and global evaluation platforms. Currently, we have around 100 members from 20 countries in the region. 

Development Solutions (DS) was founded by S Ramanathan and Vasudha Chakravarthy in 2014. 

DS exists for two reasons:

• To enable informed and grounded decision-making for development, through improved availability, interpretation, and utilization of evidence

• To enable impact-driven institutions to leverage the power of research and knowledge, strengthen data systems, build team capacity, and imbibe learnings irrespective of size, context, and networks.
  
  

Today, DS works across India to support development partners with evidence, research, and knowledge to deepen social impact.
