Hosted by Chuck Blue Lowry, this episode of Reflecting Value: Evaluation Principles in Practice explores rigour.

Keeping our evaluations rigorous is crucial if we want our findings to be accurate, giving us the best chance of learning from our activity and making meaningful changes to it.

But how do we make our evaluation rigorous? How do we identify the appropriate methods for our work, and apply them properly? How do we balance pure numbers with the human stories that come out of evaluation?

Join us as we ask our guests about identifying methods, sticking to the evidence and balancing analysis with description. We'll wade into the age old debate - "quantitative or qualitative data?" - and discuss how the two can be properly combined into a mixed methods approach.
