Following the previous post, I have finished some readings about Easy Evaluation. It was said that Easy Evaluation is a hybrid framework drawing on several established evaluation approaches. I wonder if it would reduce its effectiveness?

Not at all.

I see. Thx!

Glad to know your interest in Easy Evaluation! Despite it draws on several approaches, its central theoretical grounding is program theory-based evaluation, which centers people’s understanding of what is required to develop and implement a successful program. Furthermore, these understandings form the basis of the program theory, which is typically shown in a logic model. Meanwhile, Easy Evaluation also emphasizes the importance of valuing tradition in evaluation, which requires value judgments about the merit and worth of a program to be made. The framework also incorporates a participatory dimension through the active involvement of key stakeholders at all stages. All these elements can inform “non- evaluation professionals” about how to undertake useful evaluation activity and contribute to building evaluation capacity and capability among health professionals.
