Overview

Teams of students from countries around the globe analyze a case involving evaluation of a program offered by a non-profit or government organization. Working together in their home country, either online or in person, the student teams prepare a submission to convey their understanding of the key issues in the case and their recommendations for action.

The evaluation case is in English. Teams may use English, French or Spanish for their submission.

Teams must produce their submissions in one day within a fixed number of hours. Those working in a language other than English are allowed extra time. Submissions are judged by an international panel of experienced program evaluators.

A country can be represented by one team only. For countries that have a national evaluation case competition (Canada, the Czech Republic, India and the United States), their winning team is invited to the world event. For other countries, if more than one team registers for the world competition, the organizers will select the team that goes forward.

The team whose submission receives the highest rating is proclaimed World Champion. Regional champions are also recognized.
