A webinar in which Zach will discuss the latest iteration of social investment and the anticipated role of evaluation. He will talk about how social investment is envisaged as an approach to targeting social interventions and improving local and regional commissioning. This is to better serve, and achieve better outcomes for, individuals, families, and whānau living complex lives. He will then talk about how data and evidence will support social investment, focusing on the types of evaluative evidence that we will need.
Zachary Penman is a Principal Economist at the Social Investment Agency who specialises in quantitative social science methodologies and evaluation. He has interests in measurement and causality and a takes a methodologically and evidentially pluralist approach to evaluation. He is particularly interested in culture-specific and inter-epistemic challenges in these areas. For example, Zach collaborated with Tūtū Kākā Consultants (Finley Ngarangi Johnson) to develop Te Pikitia a te Whānau, a kaupapa Māori psychometric tool to measure whānau wellbeing, for E Tū Whānau.
Zach has been involved with ANZEA since becoming a public servant in 2020 and previously presented on the topic of social investment at the 2024 ANZEA conference.
