EvalYouth Mongolia is part of the EvalYouth Global network, which works to strengthen the voice and capacity of Young and Emerging Evaluators (YEEs), and to promote the meaningful involvement of youth in evaluation processes that impact their lives. In Mongolia, the limited number of skilled evaluators and the low participation of youth in evaluation pose challenges to the effectiveness and sustainability of development efforts. EvalYouth Mongolia is committed to addressing this gap. Our primary goal is to raise awareness about the importance of evaluation- not only among youth but across all sectors of society. We aim to help young people understand that evaluations influence decisions that affect their everyday lives, from education and healthcare to environmental and social policies. We're building a vibrant, inclusive community for young evaluation professionals to connect, share experiences, and learn from each other, ensuring they stay at the forefront of the field and keep pace with the state-of-the-art evaluation methodologies. Beyond this core group, we strive to ensure that the importance, processes, and impacts of evaluation are accessible and well-understood, not only by professionals in the field but also by a broader audience interested in its transformative potential.

We support Young and Emerging Evaluators- those under the age of 35, with less than five years of experience, or recent graduates interested in the field, by offering a range of capacity-building initiatives, including:

• Morning Coffee Talks – informal sessions to explore key evaluation topics and encourage dialogue in a relaxed setting;
• YEEs Internship Program – providing practical experience and mentorship in real evaluation projects;
• Summer Evaluation Bootcamp – an intensive training program that builds evaluation knowledge and skills through hands-on learning;
• Mongolian Evaluation Case Competition – a national competition that challenges youth to solve real-world evaluation cases furthermore helping Mongolian youth participate in this prestigious international event and gain global exposure.

Guided by the principles of inclusiveness, innovation, and sustainability, EvalYouth Mongolia is working to develop a new generation of evaluators who are skilled, informed, and engaged- not only evaluators but leaders of change- both at a national and regional level. At the same time, we strive to build national evaluation capacity and contribute meaningfully to the global evaluation community.

EvalYouth Mongolia is led by a dedicated team of seven Co-leads, each responsible for guiding a key pillar of our work. This collaborative leadership structure ensures that our initiatives are well-rounded, strategic, and responsive to the needs of young people and the broader evaluation community. Each Co-lead brings unique strengths, perspectives, and experiences, contributing to a dynamic and inclusive environment where ideas can grow and impactful programs can thrive. Together, they drive our mission forward, coordinating activities, mentoring emerging evaluators, and representing Mongolia in the global evaluation movement.
