Tentative renderings: Describing local data infrastructures that support the implementation and evaluation of national evaluation Initiatives
Researchers often must build a new data infrastructures to respond to the unique needs of their evaluation work. Differing abilities lead to differences in what programs can build, and consequently what kinds of evaluation work they can support. With the goal of straightforward comparisons across different programs, a more limited focus on quantitative values, and a better description of the data journeys used by the evaluation teams, might facilitate more nuanced assessments of the evidence of complex outcomes.
