Most Significant Change

As part of its evaluative framework, the Foundation is beginning to use the Most Significant Change technique to help monitor and evaluate social change through its investments. It is a participatory process that occurs throughout our programs cycle. We will collect “change stories” from the field and systematically select the most important of these by panels of designated stakeholders and staff. In-depth discussions about the value of the reported changes help the foundation focus on program impacts. More information on the Most Significant Change technique is available at http://www.mande.co.uk/docs/MSCGuide.pdf
