Evaluating complex interventions: What are appropriate methods?
In the CEDIL Methods brief, ‘Evaluating complex interventions: What are appropriate methods?’ we identify four types of complex development interventions: long causal chain interventions, multicomponent interventions, portfolio interventions, and system-level interventions. These interventions are characterised by multiple activities, multiple outcomes, multiple components, a high level of interconnectedness, and non-linear outcomes.
This brief is based on the CEDIL Methods Working Paper, ‘Evaluating complex interventions in international development’.
