Recognizing that complexity calls for innovative, conceptual, and methodological solutions

This unique book offers practical guidance to policymakers, managers, and evaluation practitioners on how to design and implement complexity-responsive evaluations that can be undertaken in the real world of time, budget, data, and political constraints.

Introductory chapters present comprehensive, non-technical overviews of the most common evaluation tools and methodologies, and additional content addresses more cutting-edge material.

The book also includes six case study chapters to illustrate examples of various evaluation contexts from around the world.
