An evaluation leader in a third sector organisation is someone who embeds evaluation, makes sure data is collected and that reports are written and uses evaluation for learning, improvement and celebration. The evaluation leader might be a dedicated evaluation role, the chief executive or senior manager, the fundraiser or simply someone with a particular interest.
