Evidence-based decision-making

From Evaluations

Along with monitoring (internal and external) and their associated reporting, evaluations are one of the key components of the overall INTPA organisational learning effort, as represented by the monitoring and evaluation pyramid. Here, evidence produced by continuous internal monitoring supports and directs regular external monitoring exercises — which in turn provide findings further analysed by means of ad hoc evaluations at the intervention or strategic level.

During 2020 INTPA developed a new methodology for evaluations, aimed at increasing the regularity and quality of intervention-level evaluations and to strengthen the feedback loop of evaluation results into evidence-based policymaking, intervention design and implementation.

Evaluations at the closure stage must consider operational needs while prioritising the best possibilities for lesson learning so as to effectively feed into the design of new interventions and policies.
