We embed collaboration, co-design, and co-learning into our evaluation and learning practices. By using creative and participatory qualitative approaches, this ensures that these communities fully engage with the research, increasing agency and enabling their voices. Creative approaches can be really useful when you want to make your data collection approach more ‘human’ – making research more exciting and inspiring to be part of!

Ripple Effect Mapping (REM) focuses on discovering and understanding the impacts or effects of a programme, project or intervention using multiple stakeholders. REM adopts a strengths-based approach and looks at how certain actions or efforts play a role in causing the observed changes. The idea is to identify changes or effects and how an intervention caused them - this approach helps to visually map out the outcomes and impacts of a programme or initiative, particularly the indirect or "ripple" effects that may not be immediately apparent.

Empowerment evaluation is a stakeholder involvement approach designed to provide groups with the tools and knowledge they need to monitor and evaluate their own performance and accomplish their goals. It focuses on fostering self-determination and sustainability, and recognises the power that comes with being about to communicate and evaluate evidence of change and outcomes.
