Learn about Evaluative Thinking, and how to embed it into your work from the get go. The questions are useful to ask when you plan, do and review your project, programme or any initiative.

We have a video animation explaining what a Theory of Change is. The logic model app will help you structure and formalise your understanding when starting a project, programme, or initiative. We also have examples for you to look at.

Are you or your team thinking about developing a new policy or evaluating past work or projects? We’ve developed simple tools and templates that you can use. There is also guidance to support evaluation planning.

The Evaluation Champions programme is part of addressing the challenge of embedding a culture of continuous learning across the Ministry. It is focused on empowering and encouraging people to practice Evaluative Thinking in their regular work.

We have developed tools and resources to help when you plan, do, and review a programme, project or any initiative. These include resources for when you are asked to develop a policy or undertake an evaluation.
