Evidence¶

White 2026¶

White, L. P., Gaviria, G. A., & Frausto, A. (2026). Participatory evaluation: The capacities that shape engagement. Digital Promise. https://doi.org/10.51388/20.500.12265/314

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

Qualitative finding from the Core Tenets in Practice analysis of researcher reflections, summarized in Table 4. Partners were described as contributing to evaluation design, interpretation, and sensemaking and bringing contextual knowledge.

"First, Collective Ownership and Context Expertise and Proximity were the most directly evidenced tenets."

White 2026 (2)¶

White, L. P., Gaviria, G. A., & Frausto, A. (2026). Participatory evaluation: The capacities that shape engagement. Digital Promise. https://doi.org/10.51388/20.500.12265/314

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2

From the same tenet-analysis section: equity and inclusion were present as values, but researchers' reflections rarely showed partners redefining or measuring progress in multidimensional ways. The report attributes this to outcomes often being defined before evaluation begins.

"By contrast, Reimagining Progress was the least explicitly evidenced tenet."
