AusAID's experience in PNG from 2003-2007 was a major law and justice reform initiative that represented an evolution from a "law and order" approach to a "law and justice" approach. It established unprecedented capacity for monitoring and evaluating performance changes but questions remained about demonstrating real-world impacts after only 4 years. The experience provided global lessons for improving approaches to purpose, ownership, and evaluating the success of law and justice reform efforts.

CALP 5 Webinar - Theories of Change
This document discusses theories of change and how they can be used for program planning and evaluation. A theory of change explains how and why a desired change is expected to happen in a particular context. It identifies the key assumptions being made and maps out the causal linkages and pathways of change that are expected to lead to the desired goals. Theories of change help organizations engage honestly with the complexity of change processes and provide a framework to monitor progress and adjust strategies based on ongoing learning and reflection. Developing a theory of change involves backward mapping from long-term goals to identify outcomes and strategies, and making assumptions explicit. It is an iterative process that supports effective program management and evaluation.
IKM Emergent
This document discusses the complex and dynamic nature of development, management, and knowledge. It notes that development involves multiple stakeholders with diverse goals in unpredictable contexts. Management requires the ability to create conditions for understanding, relationships, and appropriate interventions through iteration. The benefits of innovative interdisciplinary initiatives are often unexpected, inexpressible in the originating discipline, and arise long after the initiative ends. Assessment of development should focus on broader learning rather than meeting plans and is challenging due to issues of causality, overlapping interests, and timeframes.

Acting on the Future: Practical Foresight Implementation in Canada
The document discusses the need for governments to implement foresight functions to help anticipate future challenges and opportunities in an increasingly complex world. It provides examples of foresight implementation in different countries. While Canada has a central foresight agency, most government departments and agencies do not have formal foresight functions. There is no network to support collaboration between the existing foresight activities, which tend to be isolated. The document concludes that Canada has a long way to go to develop a robust foresight regime across government.

This document outlines an approach to monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) for influencing campaigns and advocacy work. It discusses how influencing work is different from traditional campaigns in terms of its aim to shift power dynamics and need for rapid response. A six-step approach to influencing MEL is presented, including setting strategy, developing a theory of change, measuring success, collecting and analyzing data, conducting external evaluations, and communicating learning. Examples of a theory of change diagram and measures of success are provided. The goal of the MEL process is to understand what strategies are effective, build stronger teams and partnerships, and maximize impact.
Latest Trends in Independent Evaluation at ADB
Independent evaluation has changed from the beginnings of evaluation activities in ADB some 30 years ago. Initially, the focus of evaluation was on assessing whether implementation was consistent with the intentions reflected in the appraisal of a project, and the extent to which the project achieved the expected economic and social benefits. Independent evaluation now shapes decision making throughout the project cycle and in ADB as a whole. This presentation offers more than an account of the early steps: it describes recent accomplishments and looks to the future.
SocioEconomicProjects - ImpactWithEvidence
This document outlines a presentation on designing and managing corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects with measurable impact.
Part 1 discusses the problem that despite massive CSR spending, poverty levels continue to rise with little impact. It questions why impact is so limited and poses the challenge of achieving impact with evidence. The new CSR regulations in India create an opportunity for corporations to design projects with fewer constraints.
Part 2 describes experiments with new project design and management approaches. It presents a five-facet framework including mandate, processes, structure, intelligence, and evolution to integrate projects, programs and policies for ongoing improvement and measurable impact.

Armytage: PhD Viva 02.11.09
This PhD thesis critiques the prevailing theory of judicial reform in international development assistance. It argues the theory is insufficient because it focuses only on an economic justification to promote growth, without considering justice as fairness and equity. The thesis proposes revising the theory to include a constitutive humanistic dimension. It also argues judicial reform success should be measured using an international human rights law framework. The thesis presents case studies from Asia that provide evidence of both the deficiencies of current approaches and some initial successes in promoting substantive rights.

Can systematic reviews help identify what works and why?
This document discusses systematic reviews (SRs) as a tool to evaluate the impact of development interventions. It notes calls from funders to demonstrate what works using evidence-based approaches. While randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are often advocated, SRs are presented as a way to overcome some of RCTs' limitations. The document summarizes a SR conducted by the authors on the impact of microfinance in sub-Saharan Africa. It took a pragmatic approach, including a variety of study designs and developing a causal pathway to understand impact. The SR found microfinance has the potential to benefit the poor but also identified challenges, calling for more and better evaluations.
Knowledge and Capacity Development
This document summarizes a workshop on balancing "hard investments" like infrastructure with "soft investments" like capacity development. It discusses the World Bank's approach of focusing on short-term results but also supporting longer-term capacity building. While infrastructure is important, many regions now face constraints on absorption capacity rather than financing. Effective capacity development requires flexible, adaptive management and blending hard and soft investments. More guidance is needed on how different capacity development instruments can best facilitate institutional change and support endogenous growth of knowledge and networks.
Learning Approaches
1. The document discusses different approaches to learning from innovations, including the standard theory of innovation design, implementation, outcomes evaluation, and revision compared to the reality that innovation design and implementation are often combined with unpredicted outcomes.
2. It notes challenges with traditional monitoring and evaluation (M&E) approaches for social sector projects, which are more complex with multiple objectives and stakeholders compared to construction projects.
3. Moving from M&E to learning is suggested to better understand why outcomes vary and how costs and benefits are distributed, using principles like ongoing analysis, stakeholder engagement, and examining unexpected issues and changes in context.
Proposal writing resource the logframe approach
The document discusses the logframe approach, which is a tool used for project planning and management. It involves analyzing problems, stakeholders, objectives, indicators and assumptions. The key steps are problem analysis to identify problems and causes; objective analysis to define solutions and objectives; selection of indicators to measure success; and development of a logframe matrix to layout the project structure and logic. An example logframe matrix is provided to show how specific problems, objectives, results, activities and assumptions can be mapped out along with indicators and means of verification.
Presentation at #CALT2015, Ottawa
The document summarizes key points from a presentation given by Professor Julian Webb at the Canadian Association of Law Teachers Annual Conference on legal education research and evidence-based policy making. It discusses:
1) The context of the Legal Education and Training Review (LETR) in England and Wales that examined legal education and training.
2) The challenges of implementing evidence-based policy making (EBPM) for legal education given issues like a lack of clear problem definitions, limited high-quality evidence, and the political nature of legal education.
3) The iterative, problem-based approach taken by the LETR to address these challenges, which included triangulating various sources of evidence and taking a transparent and collaborative process
Chartered Secretaries Risk & Compliance Module 8 - Project Governance - May 2010
This document discusses project governance and outlines some key concepts and best practices. It notes that while projects account for 20-30% of organizational activities, they often fail to deliver benefits. Effective project governance is needed to ensure projects are aligned with strategy and deliver intended outcomes. Key aspects of best practice governance include oversight and review of projects, clear goals and requirements, adequate resources, good communication and managing risks. Cultural barriers can exist if boards and managers are not engaged in governance. Case studies are presented to demonstrate governance issues that can arise.

Evaluating AL - ALA white paper v4.0
This document discusses different approaches to evaluating action learning programs. It argues that traditional evaluation models like Kirkpatrick's 4 levels and ROI methods are insufficient for complex interventions like action learning that involve emergent and unpredictable outcomes. More effective approaches involve engaging stakeholders, using mixed qualitative and quantitative methods, and recognizing the impact of organizational context. The key is conducting a realistic evaluation that can demonstrate both predicted and unexpected results over time to meet the different needs of stakeholders.
Disciplined Innovation
In the search to find the winning formula, managing innovation is based on hard work and reliable data, not entirely on the practice, recognizing necessary but sufficient conditions and context. A set of propositions potentially lay the foundation for a review of the existing basis for measuring performance and success in delivering towards shareholder expectations in today’s knowledge era – however, how does existing concepts, methods, approaches, models, practices and theoretical constructs support investment decision-making for achieving maximum shareholder value and sustained business success, recognizing your specific business context, whether starting up, growing, mature or in turn-around.
Workshop: Monitoring, evaluation and impact assessment
The document introduces monitoring and evaluation in results-based management and discusses key concepts like logic models and theories of change. It provides 3 key points:
1) Results-based management focuses on achieving important organizational changes and improvements in performance through defining expected results, monitoring progress, reporting on performance, and learning lessons.
2) Logic models graphically illustrate program components and how activities lead to outputs, outcomes and impact. Theories of change explain the underlying assumptions and causal pathways of change.
3) Evaluations are used to assess what was implemented, the strength of causal models, intended outcomes, and ultimately the impacts of interventions. Different evaluation strategies are suited to simple, complicated and complex interventions.
