Impact

a) To what extent the framework has generated or is expected to generate significant positive or negative, intended or unintended, impact for its beneficiaries?

The final evaluation questions and the evaluation matrix will be finalised in the design report.

APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY

Evaluation Approach

Theory of Change-Based Approach

The evaluation will adopt a theory-based approach that relies on an explicit theory of change, which depicts how the interventions in the NOURA framework are expected to contribute to a series of results (outputs and outcomes) that contribute to the overall goal of the framework. The theory of change also identifies the causal links between the results, as well as critical assumptions and contextual factors that support or hinder the achievement of desired changes. A theory-based approach is fundamental for generating insights about what works, what does not and why. It focuses on the analysis of causal links between changes at different levels of the results chain that the theory of change describes, by exploring how the assumptions behind these causal links and contextual factors affect the achievement of intended results.

The theory of change will play a central role throughout the evaluation process, from the inception and data collection to the analysis and identification of findings, as well as the articulation of conclusions and recommendations.

Contribution Analysis

As part of the theory-based approach, contribution analysis (4) will be employed as overall analytical framework of this evaluation to identify the contribution that NOURA framework have made the observed set of changes (i.e. positive/negative, intended/unintended effects) among targeted beneficiaries and communities. Specifically, the evaluators will use a contribution analysis to explore whether evidence to support key assumptions exists, examine if evidence on observed results confirms the chain of expected results in the theory of change, and seek out evidence on the influence that other factors may have had in achieving desired results.

(4) Contribution analysis is a methodology used to identify the contribution a development intervention has made to a change or set of changes. The aim is to produce a credible, evidence-based narrative of contribution that a reasonable person would be likely to agree with, rather than to produce conclusive proof.
