Building on their previous webinar that presented last year, this session explores deeper into Evidential Pluralism. The presenters will discuss a number of case studies and practical examples, showing the benefits of integrating different kinds of evidence when evaluating policy interventions.

Theories of change are useful for reflection and learning about the effectiveness of the work and a valuable tool in the evaluator’s toolbox. How these theories of change are constructed, communicated, or visualised varies greatly.

A pragmatic approach to operationalise theory-based evaluation.

Realist evaluation holds significant promise in exploring how and why programmes / interventions work to produce certain outcomes. Realist evaluation effectively explores how people (stakeholders, system leaders, system architects and communities) respond towards the resources provided in a programme, thus establishing ‘what works for whom, in what circumstances and why’. This understanding can support learning, improvement, and strategic direction towards sustainability.
