Scholarship award 2008

Mark Dalgety has been awarded a Wellington Evaluation Group postgraduate scholarship to attend and present a poster at the AES International Conference in Perth. Mark is enrolled in the post graduate Diploma in Social Sector Evaluation at Massey University. His poster will address an aspect of an evaluation he is conducting for a pan-refugee community organisation as part of his study. He will assess the ‘added value’ and ‘for whom’ of using the ‘resilience and adaptive cycles’ framework developed by Hollings and Gunderson (2002).
