Practical notes from the field
Short guidance on research, evaluation, gender analysis, data quality, and learning.
Baselines·
What a useful baseline should decide before fieldwork starts
A baseline is strongest when it is designed around the decisions a programme needs to make, not only the indicators it needs to report.
Gender·
Gender-responsive evaluation needs more than sex-disaggregated data
Sex-disaggregated indicators are important, but gender-responsive evaluation also has to examine power, safety, access, and institutional behaviour.
Data Quality·
Digital data collection is only as strong as its quality system
Tools such as KoboToolbox and SurveyCTO improve speed, but reliable evidence still depends on training, supervision, checks, and disciplined cleaning.
