Realist evaluation is an established approach to evaluation that is increasingly used in international development, global health and other sectors. It helps to reflect on the architecture of a programme and break open the black box of causation by developing a deep understanding of how and why certain interventions or activities work in what contexts.

A potential challenge with this and other theory-based evaluation approaches is to know what the important elements are in terms of programme and outcomes to focus the evaluation on, and what not, and present these insights to different audiences, such as funders, implementers and researchers. In this webinar we will be exploring these challenges by discussing our experiences with realist evaluation.
Speakers
The webinar will be a panel discussion between:
- Prof Gill Westhorp, Community Matters and Charles Darwin Institute
- Dr Isabel Vogel, Independent Consultant
- Dr Mieke Snijder, Institute of Development Studies
Chair
- Dr Giel Ton, Institute of Development Studies
