Qualitative and mixed methods
We believe that combining methods from different disciplines is an effective way of increasing the explanatory power of evaluation and research, since with different approaches we can get more insightful answers to important questions.
We provide guidance and support on designing and implementing research and evaluation studies, including case studies, participatory approaches, and theory-based designs, such as contribution analysis, realist evaluation, and process tracing. We have developed methodological guidelines and best-practice field guides to promote high-quality research design and analysis.
