Just want to say, that as this approach emerged from the mists of methodological time, it was extraordinarily lucky to have one of its more prolific contributors be such a competent and helpful person….well done, Gill Westhorp Ps.

Bonjour Ségolène, I don’t have this written up as an article (yet), but the attached presentation deals with a participatory, capacity-building-in-realist-evaluation project, just completed. It looks at the participatory, capacity building aspects of the project and was presented to the CARES conference in 2016. Slides 10-12 show the structure of the initial program theory (theory of action, main mechanisms in the theory of change, examples of CMOs). I’m happy to talk more off-line and provide some extra written material about the processes we used if that would help. I’m currently working on writing up the (very different) program theory that we ended up with by the end of the project. Just as a point of interest – not only did this project develop and evidence different ways of understanding how the program model works, it also changed the attitudes of participating staff to evaluation. Management and funders were always keen on it, and genuinely interested to learn from it. Staff on the ground – those who were being trained in how to do it - became committed to it over time, as they discovered that evaluation could be useful to them (not an experience they’d had, previously) and just how much they learned from it. There were some very moving stories and powerful shifts in ownership of the evaluation over time. Best of luck with it!

Dear realist colleagues, I want to start by thanking everyone on this mailing list for the extensive help you have already given me. It has been very useful in moving the research forward. Thank you! The purpose of my email is to see if you have any literature recommendations (including your own) on the process of program theory elicitation using participative strategies. I am coordinating a new project on evaluation research for health promotion in Brussels (Belgium). This research is participative with four different health promotion intervention teams participating in the implementation of a capacity building process for evaluation. In short, we are exploring this capacity building process together (researchers and practitioners) and are (strongly) inspired by realist evaluation, and may apply it in a part of the research.
