Well planned and executed mixed methods evaluation designs allow evaluators and stakeholders to gain a deeper understanding of why and how complex interventions work or not. Using examples from real projects, this presentation will cover different strategies for mixing qualitative and quantitative methods into one approach for generating rich information. In this session, you’ll learn some practical principles of mixed method designs and see how they were applied in several real-world projects.
