Workshop realist Evaluation Fernanda Souza

Nov 29, 2024
On November 29, 2024, CIDEFES hosted aworkshop on Realist Evaluation, led by the Fernanda Souza (our Phd Student of the YoPA project). This engaging session delved into the nuances of understanding "What works, for whom, and under what circumstances," a crucial aspect often overlooked in traditional process evaluations.

Fernanda, who has recently collaborated with one of Belgium's leading experts in this field, [Sara van Belle](https://research.itg.be/en/persons/sara-van-belle), brought a wealth of knowledge and fresh insights to our participants.

The workshop emphasized the importance of thorough preparation before conducting studies and highlighted various factors and methods essential for effective information collection. Participants left with a deeper understanding of how to implement interventions more effectively by considering context-specific variables.

We are grateful to Fernanda for her inspiring leadership and to all who attended for their enthusiastic participation. This event marks a significant step forward in our commitment to advancing research methodologies that truly make a difference.
