Poštovani članovi mreže, zadovoljstvo nam je predstaviti prvo izdanje proširenih WBEN vijesti, najavljujući novo poglavlje u našoj zajednici evaluatora. Do sada smo izvještavali samo o aktivnostima regionalne zajednice i njezinih nacionalnih članica. S ovim izdanjem, međutim, proširit ćemo svoje horizonte i predstaviti odabrane informacije iz ključnih međunarodnih izvora relevantnih za regionalne evaluatore, posebno sljedeće:
* EvalCommunity poslovi&stručnjaci&pozivi
* Balkanska mreža za razvoj civilnog društva – the Balkan Civil Society Development Network

* IOCE – Međunarodna organizacija za suradnju i evaluaciju

Od sada će WBEN Novosti donositi informacije o novim pozivima za evaluacijske studije, pozivima za sudjelovanje, novoobjavljenim publikacijama, alatima i obuci, izdanjima blogova i podcasta.
Uredništvo WBEN News poziva članove Mreže da nas informiraju o svojim najvažnijim postignućima, završnim evaluacijskim izvješćima, blogovima itd.
Hvala vam što ste dio naše rastuće zajednice i nadamo se da ćete uživati u novom formatu vijesti WBEN.
