Evidencing Impact: Planning Guide III

This Evidencing Impact Guide presents HSRC researchers with research methods they can explore, experiment with and use for impact evaluation such as mapping complex impact causal pathways, comparative analysis, understanding how and why certain impact pathways are effective, and compiling impact case studies. The Guide also offers a suite of additional resources for impact evaluation. The methods offered in this Guide may be familiar to some researchers and unfamiliar to others. To ensure that these methods are indeed of value, the Impact Centre will make efforts to arrange training webinars and workshops on these methods in the near future.
