  • Navigating competing demands in monitoring and evaluation: Five key paradoxes

    Open AccessMarijn Faling, Greetje Schouten et al.ARTICLEEvaluation2023References: 13

    Evaluation in complex programs assembling multiple actors and combining various interventions faces contradictory requirements. In this article, we take a management perspective to show how to recognize and accommodate these contradictory elements as paradoxes. Through reflective practice we identify five paradoxes, each consisting of two contradicting logics: the paradox of purpose—between accountability and learning; the paradox of position—bet…

  • Assessing Contributions Collaboratively: Using Process Tracing to Capture Crowding In

    Open AccessMarijn FalingARTICLEIDS Bulletin2022

    If inclusive business is to realise wide and sustained development impacts, it is likely to depend on crowding in of other public and private actors. Assessing the contribution of inclusive business to crowding in is difficult because the phenomenon usually only manifests after project completion, and the complex operating environment complicates the process of evidencing a link between intervention and outcome. With donors placing increasing emp…

  • Monitoring Systemic Change in Inclusive Agribusiness

    Open AccessSietze Vellema, Greetje Schouten et al.ARTICLEIDS Bulletin2022

    Evaluations of private sector development programmes look at what changed to the workings of the system, and whether these changes are scalable, resilient, and sustainable. We present an evaluation lens that primarily qualifies changes to the systemic nature of food provisioning in markets. It converts theoretical frameworks into ‘antennae’ receptive to early signs of systemic effects of inclusive agribusiness that fosters food and nutrition secu…

    Open AccessMarijn FalingARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2020Cited by: 2References: 14

    Climate change threatens Kenyan agriculture and the environment, and jeopardizes people’s livelihoods and food security. The 2017 Kenya Climate-Smart Agriculture Strategy claims to guide a transformation of Kenya’s agricultural system through an integrated approach to agriculture, climate change, development, environment, and food security. By undertaking a longitudinal analysis of policy frames, this study temporally contextualizes climate-smart…

  • Cross-boundary policy entrepreneurship for climate-smart agriculture in Kenya

    Open AccessMarijn Faling, Robbert BiesbroekARTICLEPolicy Sciences2019Cited by: 13References: 33

    Many initiatives to address contemporary complex challenges require the crossing of sector, domain, and level boundaries, which policy entrepreneurs are believed to facilitate. This study aims to enhance our understanding of how, why, and with what effect such entrepreneurs operate to cross boundaries. As this requires an account of both entrepreneurial strategy and the surrounding policy environment, we embed entrepreneurship in the policy frame…

  • Policy entrepreneurship across boundaries: A systematic literature review

    Open AccessMarijn Faling, Robbert Biesbroek et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Policy2018Cited by: 19References: 34

    Although policy entrepreneurs are assigned an important role in crossing policy boundaries and addressing complex problems, our understanding of the process is limited. This article systematically reviews 51 studies on conditions, strategies and implications of crossboundary entrepreneurship. Findings show that (1) the literature predominantly mentions issue promotion and coalition-building as crossboundary strategies; (2) vertical boundary-cross…
