Description

For those working in public and voluntary sectors, academia, and consultancy, providing policy-related evidence with limited resources is becoming increasingly challenging. This accessible guide sets out to demystify evaluation, explaining the options available, their merits, and how to make informed choices about research methods.

David Parsons draws on his experience of policy and programme evaluations to provide a practical roadmap for tackling these challenges. He covers key issues such as managing expectations of evaluation, using and mixing quantitative and qualitative methods, engaging stakeholders, and developing action-orientated approaches.

This book is an essential resource for social research practitioners looking to improve their skills and knowledge in evaluating policy and programme effectiveness.
