  • Personas for program evaluation

    In this article, we argue for the utility of evaluative personas to address common challenges associated with analyzing qualitative data and to support actionable evaluation insights. Personas are fictional composite characters representing subgroups within a broader population. To explore the value of persona development in evaluation, a team of researchers and practitioners applied a persona-based approach to midline evaluation of a gender main…

  • Six principles to strengthen qualitative assessments in development interventions

    Jess Macarthur, Rana Abdel Sattar et al.ARTICLEDevelopment in Practice2023Referências: 9

    Qualitative research and evaluation is often described as an art rather than a science. This intangible nature has left many programme teams feeling uncertain about how to justify and use qualitative forms of assessment in their monitoring, evaluation, and learning practice.

    Open AccessNaomi Carrard, Jess Macarthur et al.ARTICLEWomen s Studies International Forum2022Citada por: 4Referências: 12

    Multiple established connections link access to safely managed water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and gender equality. As development actors seek to attain the fifth and sixth Sustainable Development Goals, the need to measure WASH programs' contributions to gender equality outcomes is increasingly pressing. Yet the measurement of such outcomes remains challenging. This article describes and justifies the theory, concepts and decisions that und…

    Jess Macarthur, Naomi Carrard et al.ARTICLEThird World Quarterly2021Citada por: 3Referências: 74

    More than a quarter century after the Beijing Platform for Action solidified the importance of gender equality in international development, it is timely to review the conceptual approaches used to assess the gendered impacts of interventions. This paper presents a systematic review of recent investigations of gender equality from development-related academic literature (2009–2019) using two analytical approaches. First, we visualise trends based…
