action_plan:

This recommendation is duly noted. However, management considers the methodological approaches of research products under this project to be fully in-line with the intended goals of the project (i.e. a focus on impact evaluations which includes different types of approaches to establish attribution). It should be noted that of the 12 impact evaluations conducted under the project, only two applied randomization techniques while the others used combinations of quasi and non-experimental designs. The methods were chosen based on the resources available and the appropriateness of the evaluation design vis-à-vis the evaluated intervention.

title:

4) Continue to move away from a methodologically-driven approach to evaluation through clear questions and an emphasis on value, merit and worth. It is recommended to continue moving away from a focus on fully experimental methods as the preferred methodology or approach for conducting IE or for assessing effectiveness of a particular intervention. Develop a strong rationale for what new knowledge creation needs to be fostered, focus on the questions to be asked and the valuing of interventions (value, merit and worth) instead of leading with methodology. The importance is to identify the appropriate method to effectively answer the evaluation question(s) posed.
