Catholic Relief Services [CRS] has been using SenseMaker® with remote communities for ethnographic research since 2015 and has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and implementation advice that they will be sharing with us. They have travelled the world and worked with people most in need.

We interviewed Dr Maria Veronica Gottret, Senior Technical Advisor for Agriculture and Agriculture Livelihoods Research/Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning [MEAL] at CRS. Maria Veronica gives her advice to those looking to use SenseMaker® in the field for the first time.

The much anticipated book: ‘The Learning Power of Listening: A Practical Guide for Using SenseMaker®’ was released by Oxfam and Catholic Relief Services (available here). The goal is to help development centre workers and agencies apply much-needed, complexity-informed approaches to their work.
