In 2023 and 2024 DEval supported the National Planning Secretariat (SNP) of Ecuador to conduct its first country-led evaluation with a participatory approach. The Socialization and Encounter Spaces (ESE) service was evaluated; this service is offered by the Ministry of Economy and Social Inclusion (MIES) of Ecuador. Its purpose is to facilitate meetings, socialization and recreation for older adults; promote coexistence, participation, solidarity, relationships with families and the community, as well as to have an impact on positive and healthy aging. For this purpose, a multi-stakeholder team was formed, composed of the SNP, the MIES, representatives of the beneficiary population, academia, and other civil society actors. This multi-stakeholder team was facilitated by evaluation experts who accompanied the process, provided technical guidance and capacity building.
