RE: How to evaluate science, technology and innovation in a R4D context? New guidelines offer some solutions | Eval Forward

What are additional data collection and analysis methods that should be elaborated for evaluating science and research in process and performance evaluations?

Beyond traditional methods such as surveys, interviews, and document review, newer approaches like data mining, sentiment analysis, social network analysis, and bibliometric analysis could be employed for more comprehensive and diversified insights.

How can CGIAR support the roll-out of the Guidelines with the evaluation community and like-minded organizations?

CGIAR could organize rolling webinars, workshops, CG-academic institution partnerships and training sessions to familiarize the organizations and other like-minded ones with the guidelines. Collaborative platforms could be set up for ongoing discussion, learning, and sharing of best practices. Furthermore, providing case studies and real-life examples of how these guidelines have been applied and the results they have yielded could help in their adoption.

Best wishes
