The Max Bell School of Public Policy hosted the fourth edition of the Evaluation Capacity Case Challenge (EC³) May 1 and 2, 2026. Spearheaded by Leslie Fierro, this competition brings together four teams of evaluation capacity building (ECB) experts, who work collaboratively in developing a strategic solution to a complex ECB case question in under 24 hours.
This year, the EC³ Case Site selected was Médecins du Monde, represented by Geneviève Delisle. After a thorough overview of the organization’s dynamics and existing frameworks, they tasked our four competing teams with the following question:
What steps can Médecins du Monde take to ensure its National Operations Directorate leverages its current strengths (e.g., evaluative thinking and inclusive organizational practices) to further build its capacity to evaluate initiatives and use evaluation findings to learn and improve its activities, amid a resource constrained environment?
Congratulations to the Alpine Insights team on winning the 2026 case challenge!
