A few weeks have passed since the last update, apologies. Here are four interesting evaluation-related links to finish the week:
- Big claims from Caroline Heider, Director General Evaluation at the World Bank Group, about a ‘Copernican’ moment for evaluation methods in international development as the famous ‘DAC’ criteria are reconsidered.
- Many 100s of researchers (including some of LSHTM’s leading statisticians) — led by a group including Modern Epidemiology‘s Sander Greenland — have signed a declaration rejecting statistical significance, although not everyone is convinced that this is how science is supposed to work.
- Part of recognising Feminist Issues in Evaluation, the American Evaluation Association published a series of blog posts, including ‘Data is Not Objective: Feminist Data Analysis by Heather Krause’.
- A new (free) book describes the ‘Qualitative Impact Protocol’, which promises methods to attribute impact without comparison groups.
