On September 19-21, 2023 the Causal Pathways Initiative hosted three days of connecting, learning, and building a shared understanding of the evaluation and participatory practices that make causal pathways more visible. 


This virtual Symposium engaged evaluators, evaluation commissioners, and non-profits who want to learn more about how to understand how, why, and under what conditions change is happening using non-experimental methods, while making their evaluations highly participatory and equity focused.
