Theory-based evaluation: Options and choices

Description:

A well designed theory-based evaluation (TBE) helps unpick the often unclear expectations and assumptions which underlie new policy, programmes and initiatives. It can go well beyond measuring what comes out of an intervention to better understand what works (and what doesn’t), and why, and what may be holding it back from working better. Although not a new approach, its use has been held back by confusion about the different approaches to TBE, and a lack of practitioner knowledge about how to apply these promising methods. The course will provide a practical introduction to TBE principles, setting out different ‘layered’ options and approaches and practical examples of how it can be used in often complex social and community development contexts. This online course provides a more flexible opportunity for an introduction to TBE. It shares much of the same content as the ‘face to face’ SRA course and is led by the same tutor.
