Eko Nomos has been instrumental in assisting my team at Nishnawbe Aski Nation to develop a Theory of Change model and to really think about the work we are doing to support change at the community level. The experience has broadened my team’s skills and capacity to develop meaningful, evidence based action plans and has increased collaborative relationships within the team as well as with other departments within our organization.
When I joined the Canadian Women’s Foundation it was Mary Ferguson and Janet Murray who provided me with a thorough orientation to the Sustainable Livelihoods framework. As part of the Foundation’s capacity building work we traveled across Canada and trained over 50 community based agencies on effective evaluation practices, logic models and methods to improve their program evaluations. To date, many of those organizations continue to use the model and asset based approach to their programming with women and their evaluations. As a facilitator and trainer, Mary is a great listener, communicator and is extremely personable.
