Developing a Theory-based Evaluation Framework

Theory-based approaches to evaluation use an explicit theory of change to draw conclusions about whether and how an intervention contributes to observed results.

Evaluation is a branch of applied research that attempts to identify cause-effect (if-then) relationships within a specific intervention context.

An evaluation framework sets the parameters of the evaluation - its purposes, key evaluation questions and the criteria and standards to be used.

Context:

The Global Trust for Cultural and Creative Industries [1], based in Cannes, France has partnered with the Lowveld Chamber of Business and Tourism (LCBT) and the Mbombela Local Municipality (MLM). The partnership has agreed to explore options for rolling out initiatives in the cultural and creative industries that support sustainable youth employment.

You have been appointed to evaluate the E3YDH's Creating Opportunities for Youth Program [2] to inform the partnership's decision to pursue, re-engineer or reject the program's approach.

Note: The E3YDH Case Study and the fictitious partnership are provided as a means for you to anchor your submission. You are not required to evaluate the intervention, but you may use elements of the context provided to ground/illustrate your argument.
