On 21 May 2026, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) Office of Independent Evaluation (OIE) and Caribbean Evaluators International (CEI) will co-host a three-part regional webinar series as part of the Youth in Evaluation Forum 2026 (19–21 May 2026), a global initiative led by the Eval4Action campaign.

The event will run from 10:00 am–1:00 pm Atlantic Time and will convene students, young and emerging evaluators (YEEs), and senior practitioners across the Caribbean for intergenerational dialogue on youth participation in evaluation, mentorship, and institutional pathways for engagement.

This regional webinar builds on the Forum’s global opening on 19 May and aims to translate global commitments into Caribbean action by strengthening youth voice, leadership, and inclusion in evaluation practice.
