RESOURCES
Resource Hub
The purpose of the resource hub is to create a space for evaluators, evaluation commissioners, and funders to better understand ways to assess causal contribution in complex contexts and to access the tools and knowledge they need to do this work well.
This is an evolving page of resources. We will be updating this page throughout the year so make sure to check back for new resources! Join our mailing list to get monthly updates.
