Interviews For Evaluation

Interviews can be a vital part of any project when evaluating programmes and their impact. The qualitative data from interviews can provide a wide range of open-ended information about people’s motivations, feelings, attitudes, and what they remember. This is a two-part series that will address how to conduct and analyse interview-based evaluation.

How To Design and Conduct Qualitative Interviews For Evaluation
