Choosing appropriate approaches and methods are pre-requisites for credible, independent and useful evaluation exercises in the United Nations. The Compendium of Evaluation Methods Reviewed is a guidance document resulting from discussions among members of the UNEG Working Group on Evaluation Methods on seven evaluation methods.
Methods Supporting Evaluation Design: Evaluability Assessment, Theory Of Change And Storyline Approaches
Synthesis And Meta-Analysis
Contribution Analysis
Qualitative Comparative Analysis
Randomised Controlled Trials And Quasi-Experimental Designs
Outcome Harvesting/Outcome Evidencing
Culturally Responsive Evaluation
The Compendium presents examples of interesting UN evaluation practices to a wider audience, with an additional focus on the underlying principles that led evaluation managers to choose the method they did. Conceived as the first in a series of written resources, the document will be updated as the work of the group continues.
