MONEV Podcast

In this episode, we discuss why Theory-Based Evaluation matters — especially when programs operate in complex, real-world settings. We explore what information is needed to test causal pathways, validate assumptions, and understand whether change happens as intended.

If you work in monitoring, evaluation, policy, or development, this conversation will help you think more critically about program logic and evidence.

🎧 MONEV Podcast | Episode 27Political Economy Analysis

Power shapes policy. Incentives shape implementation. Context shapes results.

In this episode of MONEV Podcast, we explore Political Economy Analysis (PEA)—why technically sound programs can still fail, and how understanding power, interests, and institutions helps evaluators and practitioners make better decisions.

If you work in monitoring & evaluation, governance, or development, this conversation will challenge how you think about change.

Logical Framework Analysis is often treated as a reporting template—but it’s much more than that. In this episode, we unpack how LFA can support clearer thinking, better measurement, and stronger evaluation when used as an analytical tool, not just a compliance requirement.

If you work in monitoring, evaluation, policy, or development, this episode invites you to rethink how you design and use logframes in practice.

Together with Prof. Dr. Romeo Santos, we unpack Results-based Monitoring and Evaluation (RBME), from why it matters, and how it helps transform evidence into stronger decisions and lasting impact.

RBME goes beyond counting activities. It is about linking data, insights, and lived experiences to decision-making, so programs can achieve meaningful and sustainable change.
