Through presentations and discussion, with real-world examples drawn from multiple contexts, participants in this workshop will be introduced to the RealWorld Evaluation approach. RealWorld evaluation techniques are applicable to evaluators working in any context with budget, time, data and political constraints. The fundamental framework for the session is an exploration off the RealWorld Evaluation approach, including ways to negotiate RealWorld solutions with clients. Finally, we’ll identify a number of evaluation designs appropriate for RealWorld evaluations and discuss their appropriate context-dependent applications
