Evaluation Building Blocks

The Kinnect group developed this evaluation guide over ten years working together. There are many different ways to do evaluation and a range of guides. Our guide emphasises the place of evaluative reasoning in evaluation. It draws on the work of many evaluation theorists, as well as our practice-based body of knowledge.
