Evaluation Techniques

Module 7: Methods of impact evaluation (IE) Module description: One single evaluation approach seldom fully captures the complexities of the impact of programmes. Consequently, it is challenging to find creative ways of combining different evaluation tools and techniques. In the module Methods of Impact Evaluation’ we will provide various materials and videos of theory-based and counterfactual impact evaluation approaches, all of which could be feasible for INTERREG programmes.

These techniques are necessary for carrying out evaluation tasks related to collecting and analysing data. In this video we will present you with various evaluation techniques, which might be of interest for Interreg programmes: Contextual & Documentary Review, One-to-One Consultation, Surveys, One-to-Many Consultation, Case Studies, and Learning Diaries This video was shot at the Interact Event Impact Evaluations: Methods and Terms of References on 21 June 2016 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
