IPDET 2024 review
IPDET On-Site 2024 was held from July 15-26, 2024 at the University of Bern, Switzerland. This year, we proudly welcomed 165 participants from 71 countries. The two-week program empowered our participants as we embarked on a remarkable journey together.
In September, ten participants learned virtually about “Indicator Development”, and in October, a four-day intensive in-house training for the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) was held in Jeddah, supporting the development of evaluation capacities of their evaluation and operational staff. Thanks everyone for participating!

“I am thankful to the IPDET team for making this experience engaging, fun and memorable! Throughout the program, I was able to build meaningful connections which will truly remain valuable to me; and the knowledge I gained will be carried forward with the aim to achieve positive impact for communities through better practice of evaluation using evidence based and data driven approaches.”
