Examples of Innovative Evaluation

This chapter introduces students to modern approaches to evaluation that move beyond rigid checklists and simple before-and-after comparisons.

It explains why today’s complex problems, like climate change, inequality, or fragile governance, often require adaptive, real-time learning rather than one-off assessments.

The resource offers examples of innovative evaluation designs and encourages readers to see evaluation not as a bureaucratic requirement, but as a powerful tool for learning, coursecorrection, and amplifying impact over time.
