Specialist in culturally responsive evaluation in East Asia, based in Hong Kong (HK)
Evaluation isn’t just about measuring change…
it can be part of creating it
Too often, evaluation feels like a chore, a requirement. And leads to a report that gathers dust. But what if your evaluation actually helped you strengthen your programme, tell your story, and unlock new opportunities?
That’s exactly why I built Expert Evaluation in HK – to make evaluation strategic, ethical, and impossible to ignore.

Social Impact Evaluation HK | Expert Consultant
Hey social change leaders! I’m Dr Hannah, and I know you’re feeling the pressure.
Everyone wants more data. More reports, more numbers, more proof of impact. But too often, little thought is given to the people behind the data – the communities you serve.
If we’re going to collect data, let’s do it boldly and with purpose, without causing harm. The people you work with have had their words used against them and their voices ignored for too long. That’s why my evaluations are inclusive, equitable, and accessible, ensuring that every insight is gathered ethically and reported in a way that drives real change.
MY 3 Key Principles for Meaningful Evaluation:
✔️ Work with the people you serve, not just evaluate them.
✔️ Engage communities in defining impact indicators and collecting insights through creative, accessible means.
✔️ Measure success in a way that fosters empowerment and systemic change.
And because access to insightful evaluation shouldn’t be a barrier, I offer equity pricing to make comprehensive evaluation achievable for all.
But let’s be honest, independent evaluation comes with risks.
You might not always like what I find. Evaluation is inherently uncomfortable.
One programme I evaluated was designed to be open to everyone. It looked inclusive on paper. But my data showed that many attendees weren’t benefiting. They already had the skills the programme offered – they needed something completely different. This was hard to hear, but using that evidence, they successfully secured new funding for a programme that actually met those participants’ needs.
I also rewrote their marketing materials to ensure they were attracting the right people.
Another programme I evaluated, worked for one subset of their community, but was unintentionally excluding their regular clients. We worked together to address these barriers to access, shrink the scope of the programme to the chunks that had the greatest impact. This programme is now self-sustaining and thriving.
The result? Multiple funding renewals. Because now, their impact is undeniable.
I’m being purposefully vague, cause my clients don’t want you to know what was going on behind the scenes. Evaluation is hard, it feels like criticism. I promise to be by your side, helping you create solutions that are practical, rigorous, and work within resource constraints. (Having a PhD in inclusive education helps with that too!)
I’ve helped programme leads who are driving social change.
