Professor Chen was instrumental in organising the first IDEAS General Assembly (GA) on 8th September 2002 in Beijing, China. At this seminal GA, the IDEAS’ Constituent Assembly was established; a representative Board was elected; and a three-year work plan and budget was approved. Professor Chen served on the first elected IDEAS Board.
Dr. Rist served as President of IDEAS from 2008 to 2014. During his tenure, he was instrumental in designing and organizing the important IDEAS’ Biennial Conferences and Global Assemblies in Johannesburg (2009), Amman (2011) and Barbados (2013). He ensured that the outputs of each Assembly were published as an official IDEAS publication. Dr. Rist contines to be a close collaborator with IDEAS.
A leader in the international evaluation movement, Sulley served as the founding President from 2002-2005 of the International Development Evaluation Association (IDEAS) and then became President of the African Evaluation Association from 2007-2009. He served as Ghana’s High Commissioner to Canada from 2014-2017, and Senior Policy Advisor to the President of Ghana, where he established the Policy Delivery and Evaluation Unit in the Presidency of Ghana from 2010-2014. He led many evaluations throughout his career and recently led a Rockefeller Foundation-funded project to evaluate collective action learning in four African countries. In 2019, he was appointed Head of Impact for the Mastercard Foundation. Sulley served on many evaluation-related Boards and advisory committees. He obtained a Master’s and PhD at Carleton University in Ottawa and Carleton conferred a Doctor of Law, honoris causa on him in recognition of his longstanding work and academic scholarship in international development in Africa. Sulley whole-heartedly supported the World Bank-Carleton University International Program for Development Evaluation Training (IPDET) which in its first generation trained thousands of evaluation leaders and practitioners from 2001-2017. Sulley served as a participatory evaluation workshop instructor for many years and later, when High Commissioner, would give guest lectures to IPDET participants. Above all, Sulley was a warm, kind, approachable man, and many of us were proud to call him “friend”.
Robert (Bob) Picciotto played a significant role in ensuring the birth of IDEAS and provided highly effective support for the organization in its first years. He was awarded honorary membership in recognition of the strategic advice he provided to the first IDEAS Board and his exemplary role in the international evaluation community.
